1028: Utility of the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in marijuana exposed growth restricted fetuses

The value of biophysical profile and sonographic cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in predicting childbirth mode and adverse neonatal outcomes

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PERINATAL OUTCOME OF GROWTH RESTRICTED FETUSES IN HYPERTENSIVE MOTHERS VERSUS OTHER CA USATIVE FA CTORS

From July 1998 to November 1999 we have followed up 15712 deliveries (12044 vaginal and 3668 cesarean section) in our hospital. Among these, 182 cases were primarily diagnosed as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and 248 pregnancies were complicated with hypertensive disorders. In these two groups we have investigated the outcome of the neonates. Neonatal weight under the 10th percent...

Reduced placental volume and flow in severe growth restricted fetuses

OBJECTIVES To evaluate placental volume and vascular indices in pregnancies with severe fetal growth restriction and determine their correlations to normal reference ranges and Doppler velocimetry results of uterine and umbilical arteries. METHODS Twenty-seven fetuses with estimated weights below the 3rd percentile for gestational age were evaluated. Placental volume and vascular indices, inc...

Cerebroplacental Doppler ratio and placental histopathological features in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction.

OBJECTIVE To correlate placental pathologic lesions, as defined by the Society for Pediatric Pathology, to the severity of the ratio of the pulsatility Doppler index (PI) of the fetal middle cerebral artery to that of the umbilical artery (cerebroplacental ratio, CPR). STUDY DESIGN A cohort-study of 176 singleton pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR). RESULTS The mean va...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Placenta Growth Factor in Intrauterine Growth-Restricted Fetuses and Neonates

The angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placenta growth factor (PlGF) are respectively up- and downregulated by hypoxia. We aimed to study circulating levels of the above factors in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and to correlate their levels with the customized centiles of the infants. The study included 25 IUGR and 25 appropriate for gestational age (AGA) ...
