| description | Background: Doppler provides assessment of uteroplacental and fetoplacental circulation during pregnancy. It is a sensitive tool in early detection of fetal compromise and allows needful intervention.
Aims and Objective: To study the role of umbilical artery doppler in clinically suspected IUGR and its implication on neonatal outcome.
Materials and Methods: A total of 104 singleton pregnancies with gestational age of more than 34 weeks who had clinical suspicion of IUGR were evaluated using obstetric ultrasound and doppler. Umbilical artery
velocimetry with S/D >3 and RI >0.7 were considered abnormal. Newborns were classified as either small for gestational age (SGA) ie, IUGR or appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Neonatal outcome were classified as either normal or adverse events that included still birth, NICU admissions, perinatal asphyxia and/or neonatal death.
Results: Out of 104 clinically suspected IUGR, 55 were born with small for gestational age. Among these SGA neonates, 45 subjects had abnormal umbilical artery S/D and 42 had abnormal RI. Abnormal umbilical
artery S/D ratio had a sensitivity of 81.8 %, specificity of 59.2 %, the positive predictive value of 69.2 % and negative predictive value of 74.4 %. Abnormal Umbilical artery RI had a sensitivity of 76.4 %, specificity of 69.4 %, positive predictive value of 73.7 % and negative predictive value of 72.3 % in diagnosing IUGR. Abnormal umbilical artery velocimetry was associated with increased morbidity and mortality in IUGR neonates.
Conclusions: Umbilical artery doppler plays an important role in diagnosing IUGR and predicting neonatal outcome. |
