Umbilical Artery Doppler

Background: The objective of this present study was to compare MBPP and umbilical artery Doppler flow in high-risk pregnant women in prediction of perinatal outcome.Methods: A cohort study was done on 150 high-risk pregnant women over 16 months. Antenatal women with singleton pregnancy who delivered within 48 hours of performing MBPP and Doppler USG, with presence of ≥1 high-risk factor like pre-eclampsia/gestational HTN, BOH, post-dated pregnancy, FGR, GDM, maternal heart disease, anaemia, hypothyroidism and IHCP were included in the study. MBPP (NST and AFI) and umbilical artery Doppler was performed. Perinatal outcome was measured in terms of stillbirth/IUD, LBW, Apgar <7 at 5 minutes, admission to NICU, neonatal death within 48 hours of delivery, MSL and neonatal seizures within 24-48 hours. Quantitative variables were compared using independent t-test/Mann Whitney test. Qualitative variables were correlated using Chi square test/Fisher exact test. Sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV were calculated and p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Data analysis was done using social sciences (SPSS) licensed version 21.0.Results: Majority belonged to the age group 21-25 years and were between 37-40 weeks of gestation. It was found that highest perinatal complications occurred in those with both abnormal MBPP and Doppler followed by those with only abnormal MBPP (p-value<0.0001).Conclusions: MBPP is a better predictor of perinatal outcome compared to umbilical artery Doppler USG in high-risk pregnant women. MBPP should be done in all high-risk pregnancies even if Doppler is normal. Both the tests must be performed in all high-risk pregnancies to improve perinatal outcome.

Introduction: The measurement of fetal umbilical blood flow using Doppler ultrasound is a well-established tool in the management of high-risk pregnancies and has resulted in improved outcome. However, there is paucity of data concerning the normal parameters in Nigeria. This study is aimed at assessing the fetal umbilical artery indices in pregnant Nigerian women. Methods: This was a cross sectional prospective study carried out at the Niger delta university teaching hospital, silhouette radio diagnostic consultants Yenagoa and federal medical centre. A total of 400 pregnant women between the gestational ages of 20 – 40 weeks were evaluated within a one-year period using a 2014 Philips HD 11 ultrasound machine equipped with a 3.5Mhz curvilinear probe having colour, pulsed wave and power Doppler facilities. Results: The mean age and BMI were 30 ± 6 years and 29.9±5.76 kg/m2 respectively while the mean umbilical artery systolic velocity and end diastolic velocities were 40.07± 8.99m/s and 17.44±6.37m respectively. The mean resistivity index (RI) is 0.57. There was a negative correlation of RI with Gestational age (P<0.05). Conclusion: Fetal umbilical artery Doppler parameters are essential tool in management of high-risk pregnancies and has resulted in an improved outcome. This study is to serve as a baseline for further studies with a larger sample size. Keywords: Fetal; Umbilical; Artery; Doppler; Pregnancies.
