Induced Hypertension

Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Multi vessel color Doppler studies are useful in these cases for timely intervention. The aim of present study was to know the significance of umbilical, middle cerebral and uterine artery Doppler studies in PIH and to analyse its role in predicting perinatal outcome.Methods: This was a prospective study of 106 singleton pregnancies in the third trimester with PIH. The results of last Doppler ultrasound within one week of delivery were used for analysis. Adverse perinatal outcome was studied in the form of emergency cesarean section for fetal distress, meconium stained amniotic fluid, Apgar at 5 min <7, NICU admission and perinatal mortality (stillbirths and neonatal death). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and diagnostic accuracy of various Doppler parameters were calculated after comparing with standard.Results: In the present study specificity and diagnostic accuracy of all Doppler ultrasound parameters was high in predicting adverse perinatal outcome. Cerebroplacental ratio showed highest specificity (98.55%), PPV (94.44%) and diagnostic accuracy (80.19%) in predicting adverse perinatal outcome and it is better than MCA PI and UA PI alone. Uterine artery Doppler evaluation also gives additional information in predicting adverse perinatal outcome.Conclusions: Amongst various Doppler parameters cerebroplacental index (MCA/UA PI) is best predictor of adverse perinatal outcome.

Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Multi vessel colour Doppler studies are useful in these cases for timely intervention. The aim of present study was to know the significance of umbilical, middle cerebral and uterine artery Doppler in PIH and to analyse their role in predicting perinatal outcome.Methods: This is a study of 150 pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). These patients were evaluated with colour Doppler and were followed subsequently for any adverse perinatal outcome.Results: Out of 150 cases 70% of cases were found in 20-30 years age group. 98 cases had abnormal uterine artery Doppler indices accounting for 65.3%, while 52 cases had a normal Doppler index accounting for 34.3%. Out of 150 cases, 94 (64.6%) cases had abnormal middle cerebral artery. In our study 53 cases had abnormal umbilical artery Doppler indices accounting for 35.4%, while 97 cases had a normal Doppler index accounting for 64.6%. Out of 150 cases in our study 27 cases had Reversal of a wave in ductus venosus waveform that is in 18%. In this study total 5 cases (35.7%) of perinatal mortality were seen.Conclusions: The knowledge of various doppler parameters may help to improve pregnancy outcome and identification of PIH at earliest gestation age as compared to other antepartum test modalities.
