Objective  To explore the application of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) clinics in fetal developmental abnormalities. Methods  A retrospective analysis method was used to collect case data of fetal developmental abnormalities and completion of prenatal MDT clinics diagnosis and treatment in pregnant women who were registered in the Department of Obstetrics of West China Second Hospital, Sichuan University between December 2021 and November 2022. The situation of pregnant women and fetuses was summarized and analyzed. Results  There were 19362 registered pregnant women, of which 1125 (5.8%) had abnormal fetal development. Among them, 272 (24.2%) received prenatal MDT clinics diagnosis and treatment. Fetal developmental abnormalities were mainly characterized by structural abnormalities (208 cases, 76.5%), with the top three being central nervous system abnormalities, circulatory system abnormalities, and multiple malformations. There were 202 pregnant women who continue to conceive, and 70 cases had undergone induced labor, with an induced labor rate of 25.7%. The top three main causes of induced abortion were multiple malformations, central nervous system abnormalities, and circulatory system abnormalities. After prenatal MDT clinics diagnosis and treatment, the diagnosis of fetal developmental abnormalities in 46 pregnant women were corrected. Conclusion  Prenatal MDT clinics are helpful for the early comprehensive evaluation of fetal developmental abnormalities and the determination of diagnosis and treatment plans.
