DOPPLER UMBILICAL VELOCIMETRY IN THE PREDICTION OF ADVERSE OUTCOME IN PREGNANCIES AT RISK FOR INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RETARDATION

Abstract

Umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry was performed in 20 cases with the clinical diagnosis of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and 40 cases with normal pregnancy as a control group for the evaluation of the fetus. In 17 (85%) of IUGR cases, the fetal birth vveight was belovv 10 percentile. Doppler findings vvere abnormal in 12 of IUGR cases, but no evidence of IUGR was detected at birth in two cases. IUGR cases vvere delivered earlier than the normal cases and the birth weight of the babies vvere lovver. These babies needed longer çare in neonatal intensive çare ünite and neonatal complication vvere more frequent. As a result, umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry can be used as a valuable procedure in the prevention of prenatal fetal complications
