[Reliability of optic density at 650 nm in determining lung maturity in children of diabetic mothers].
The Diabetes Mellitus is the pathology that frequently is associated to the pregnancy and it is responsible for perinatal mobility specially by the respiratory distress syndrome since exists delay in the conversion of myoinositol-phosphatidyl inositol-phosphatidyl glycerol. To demonstrate the reliability of the DO tho 650 nm with standard of 20 in the determination of fetal lung maturity of the infant of diabetic mother. There were included 143 patient with pregnancy > or = 37 weeks with amenorrhea reliable and gestational age confirmed by ultrasound, of those 94 corresponded to gestational Diabetes Mellitus, 49 to pregestational (46 non insulin-dependent and 3 insulin-dependent). In all of them amniotic fluid studies was perform at 37 week and the resolution of the pregnancy was when DO to 650 nm showed fetal lung maturity. It was found a correlation among the DO to 650 nm of 20 and absence of RDS in 130 cases (true positive); there were seven cases with immaturity results by DO that they did not express RDS (false negative) and six cases with results that showed immaturity by DO and there were manifestations of RDS (true negative). We did not find results of false positive. The frequency of RDS was of 4.9% with a positive predictive value of the 100% an negative predictive value of 46%, a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 94%. An interesting finding was the fact that six cases true negative cases had poor maternal metabolic control of different degrees. For our results can be deduced that DO to 650 nm with standard of .20 it is reliable for the diagnosis of fetal lung maturity in the pregnancies complicated with Diabetes Mellitus, in addition to be an easy elaboration test and low cost.
