The ANTENATAL multicentre study to predict postnatal renal outcome in fetuses with posterior urethral valves: objectives and design
Abstract
Background
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) account for 17% of paediatric end-stage renal disease. A major issue in the management of PUV is prenatal prediction of postnatal renal function. Fetal ultrasound and fetal urine biochemistry are currently employed for this prediction, but clearly lack precision. We previously developed a fetal urine peptide signature that predicted in utero with high precision postnatal renal function in fetuses with PUV. We describe here the objectives and design of the prospective international multicentre ANTENATAL (multicentre validation of a fetal urine peptidome-based classifier to predict postnatal renal function in posterior urethral valves) study, set up to validate this fetal urine peptide signature.
Methods
Participants will be PUV pregnancies enrolled from 2017 to 2021 and followed up until 2023 in >30 European centres endorsed and supported by European reference networks for rare urological disorders (ERN eUROGEN) and rare kidney diseases (ERN ERKNet). The endpoint will be renal/patient survival at 2 years postnatally. Assuming αâ=â0.05, 1âÎČâ=â0.8 and a mean prevalence of severe renal outcome in PUV individuals of 0.35, 400 patients need to be enrolled to validate the previously reported sensitivity and specificity of the peptide signature.
Results
In this largest multicentre study of antenatally detected PUV, we anticipate bringing a novel tool to the clinic. Based on urinary peptides and potentially amended in the future with additional omics traits, this tool will be able to precisely quantify postnatal renal survival in PUV pregnancies. The main limitation of the employed approach is the need for specialized equipment.
Conclusions
Accurate risk assessment in the prenatal period should strongly improve the management of fetuses with PUV

Facteurs de risque de césarienne sur deuxiÚme jumeau aprÚs accouchement voie basse du premier jumeau : étude cas-témoins
International audienceObjectives: To identify risk factors for cesarean section of the second twin after vaginal delivery of the first twin.Methods: Case-control study conducted between 2004 and 2018 in a tertiary center, CHU Toulouse. Cases were women with twin pregnancy who had vaginal delivery of the first twin and emergency cesarean of the second twin. Controls were women with twin pregnancy who delivered both twins vaginally. Deliveries before 24 weeks of gestation, birth weight of less than 500 grams, fetal death in utero, terminations of pregnancy and delayed delivery were excluded. The association between potential risk factors and cesarean delivery of the second twin was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.Results: Twenty-four patients who had vaginal delivery of the first twin and emergency cesarean of the second twin and 48 patients who delivered both twins vaginally were included. Neonatal morbidity was increased in the group of women who had an emergency cesarean of the second twin. In multivariable analysis, overweight (OR=10.5 [95% CI: 1.78-62.03] for women with body mass index above 25 compared to women with body mass index below 25), weight gain during pregnancy (OR=1.27 [95% CI: 1.01-1.48] for each kilogram) and preterm labor (OR=4,43 [IC 95%:1,10-17,80]) were associated with significantly increased risk of cesarean section of the second twin.Conclusion: Overweight and weight gain during pregnancy are associated with increased risk for cesarean section of the second twin
