OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effect of maternal habitus on detection of fetuses with major structural anomalies during second-trimester standard and targeted ultrasound examinations.METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of pregnancies 18 to 24 weeks that underwent ultrasonography over a 5-year period. An anomalous fetus was considered detected if a major abnormality of the relevant organ system was identified, regardless of the anticipated ultrasound detection. Anomalies were verified using a prospectively maintained database. Body mass index (BMI) was based on weight at first prenatal visit.RESULTS: There were 10,112 standard examinations in low-risk pregnancies and 1,098 targeted examinations in pregnancies with either high-risk indications or with an abnormality detected during standard ultrasonography. Detection of anomalous fetuses decreased with increasing BMI. For normal BMI, overweight, and class 1, 11, and III obesity, detection with standard ultrasonography was 66%, 49%, 48%, 42%, and 25%, respectively, and with targeted ultrasonography, 97%, 91%, 75%, 88%, and 75%, respectively, both P
