Can the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) predict intrapartum fetal compromise? A prospective observational study

Predicting intrapartum fetal compromise using the fetal cerebro-umbilical ratio.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to explore the association between the cerebro-umbilical ratio measured at 35-37 weeks and intrapartum fetal compromise. METHODS This retrospective cross sectional study was conducted at the Mater Mothers' Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Maternal demographics and fetal Doppler indices at 35-37 weeks gestation for 1381 women were correlated with intrapar...

The short-term survival following acute myocardial infarction: A prospective observational study

Introduction: To investigate 28 days survival rate following first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with the presence of classical risk factors and treatment modalities in Gorgan, north of Iran. Materials and methods: Our cohort including all patients hospitalized due to AMI from 2010 to 2013. Data were collected on demographic, prophylactic drugs and classical coronary risk fa...

Umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry in the prediction of intrapartum fetal compromise.

The value of early intrapartum umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry in the prediction of fetal compromise was studied. One hundred patients were recruited into the study and fetal compromise was diagnosed by abnormal first- or second-stage fetal heart rate traces, a 5-minute Apgar score less than 7, or the development of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy. Fetal compromise developed in 30 patient...

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...
