Comparative Study of Colour Doppler versus Non Stress Test as a predictor of Perinatal outcome in PIH and IUGR

Background: Hypertensive disorders and intrauterine growth restriction are common complications encountered during pregnancy. This study was conducted to observe the usefulness of systolic/ diastolic (S/D) ratio in umbilical artery as compared with non-stress test (NST) predict perinatal outcome pregnancies complicated hypertensive (IUGR). Methods: It a prospective observational which on patients undergoing antenatal visits at department obstetrics gynaecology, Army hospital research referral, New Delhi from May 2017 April 2019. NST started 32 weeks twice weekly all patients. All were subjected Doppler velocimetry waveform basis or every third day cases nonreactive NST. Results: Out 140 patients, 53 (37.9%) had PIH 44 (31.4%) IUGR. 43 (30.7%) both Among 40 (28.6%) non-reactive 60 (42.9%) abnormal doppler. Abnormal doppler associated APGAR score less than 7 5 minutes newborn. more normal finding statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: Overall sensitivity diagnostic accuracy is better that terms detecting adverse outcomes.
