Role of Cerebro-Placental Ratio in Prediction of Perinatal Outcome in High-Risk Pregnancies with Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Abstract

oppler ultrasound velocimetry of uteroplacental umbilical and fetal vessels has become established method of antenatal monitoring. Cerebroplacental ratio has been studied to predict neonatal outcomes. In this study was held in Ain Shams university maternity hospital which included 60 high risk pregnant women divided in to two groups:  Group Ⅰ - study group: 30 high risk pregnant women with IUGR  Group Ⅱ - control group: 30 high risk pregnant women without IUGR Our aim was to assess role of cerebro-placental ratio in prediction of perinatal outcome in high-risk pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction. The current study showed that among patients with IUGR and low CPR, 17 (56.7%) had CS for fetal distress, 12 (40.0%) had neonate with low APGAR, 13 (43.3%) had neonatal meconium aspiration, 6 (20.0%) had neonatal Hypoxic ischemic Encephalopathy, 15 (50.0%) had neonate need NICU admission, 3 (10.0%) had neonatal death, 1 (3.3%) had neonatal still birth
