Background Preeclampsia is a specific pregnancy syndrome. Early diagnosis and proper administration of preeclampsia can lead to improved maternal and neonatal outcome. We aimed to investigate the uterine artery Doppler ultrasound in predicting the preeclampsia in women with a high-risk pregnancy. Materials and Methods This analytic study was conducted on 160 primigravida women with gestational...

Background Fetal growth restriction is the second leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is estimated to be approximately 5 percent in the general obstetric population. Abnormal uterine artery suggest a maternal cause for the growth restriction where as normal uterine artery Doppler studies suggest that a fetal cause. Use of u...

background: the purpose of the study was to evaluate the role of uterine blood flow parameters measured by uterine artery two-dimensional (2d)-power color doppler (pcd) ultrasound in predicting fertility outcomes in women undergoing ivf-et cycles. methods: in this prospective observational study, a total of 188 infertile women who underwent ivf-et cycles were investigated. uterine artery 2d-pd ...

Objective: To determine the usefulness of uterine artery Doppler in evaluation of third trimester high-risk pregnancies in prediction of adverse perinatal outcome. Methods: In this prospective study uterine artery Doppler parameters such as PI and early diastolic notch were recorded in a group of 60 high-risk pregnancies mainly consisting of pre-eclampsia and small for gestational age. Uterine ...

Abstract Background: Epidemiologic studies have shown the relationship of maternal hemoglobin level and abnormal findings in uterine Doppler sonography with pregnancy- related complications. In this study, we evaluated the relationship of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry findings and hemoglobin level with the outcomes of pregnancy in women with preeclampsi...

OBJECTIVE To compare umbilical and uterine artery Doppler in predicting outcome of pregnancies suspected of fetal growth restriction (FGR). DESIGN A prospective study included 353 singleton pregnancies complicated by an FGR fetus. SETTING University Hospital setting. SAMPLE Pregnancies suspected of FGR diagnosed by ultrasound fetal biometry during a 5-year period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE P...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the predictive capacity of umbilical, cerebral and uterine artery Doppler in women admitted for preeclampsia (PE). METHODS 190 consecutive singleton pregnancies admitted with PE were included. Umbilical, cerebral and uterine artery Dopplers were performed. The association with adverse perinatal outcome was evaluated from 2 x 2 tables and multivariately by logistic regre...
