Abstract:Objective This study aims to explore the relationship between ultrasonographic indices and serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in pregnant women with congenital heart disease, and to assess the predictive value of these indices for maternal and infant maternal and neonatal outcome.Methods A total of 248 pregnant patients with congenital heart disease admitted to Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Based on maternal and neonatal outcome, they were divided into a good prognosis group (n = 162) and a poor prognosis group (n = 86). Echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac structure and function, and differences in ultrasound indices, serum BNP levels, and NYHA classifications between the groups were analyzed. The correlations between ultrasound indices, serum BNP levels, and NYHA classification were assessed using Spearman's correlation analysis. Multivariate regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors affecting maternal and neonatal outcome, and the value of ultrasound indices and BNP in predicting maternal and neonatal outcome was evaluated using ROC curves.Results The poor-outcome group exhibited significantly lower cardiac output (CO) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) but higher cardiac index (CI), E/A ratio, and BNP levels compared to the favorable-outcome group (P < 0.05). The NYHA classification was worse in the poor-outcome group (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis revealed that NYHA classification was negatively correlated with CO (rs = -0.210, P = 0.001) and LVEF (rs = -0.193, P = 0.002) but positively correlated with CI (rs = 0.172, P = 0.007), E/A ratio (rs = 0.173, P = 0.006), and BNP levels (rs = 0.184, P = 0.004). Multivariate logistic regression identified low CO [O^R = 0.612 (95% CI: 0.430, 0.873) ], high CI [O^R = 2.129 (95% CI: 1.361, 3.331) ], high E/A ratio [O^R = 4.368 (95% CI: 1.726, 11.053) ], low LVEF [O^R = 0.928 (95% CI: 0.890, 0.969) ], and elevated BNP [O^R = 1.099 (95% CI: 1.064, 1.136) ] as independent risk factors for adverse maternal and neonatal outcome. The model demonstrated a sensitivity of 67.9% (95% CI: 0.565, 0.772), specificity of 94.2% (95% CI: 0.897, 0.974), and accuracy of 85.1% (95% CI: 0.782, 0.903) in predicting adverse outcomes.Conclusion Abnormalities in ultrasonographic indices and serum BNP levels are closely related to maternal and neonatal outcome in pregnant women with congenital heart disease and can serve as effective biomarkers for assessing disease severity and predicting maternal and neonatal outcome.
