Abstract

Gestational age at appearance of oligo- or anhydramnios and BV at diagnosis can accurately predict mortality and morbidity in fetuses with LUTO. Our proposed staging system can triage reliably fetuses with LUTO and predict the severity of the condition and its prognosis. Copyright © 2018 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
