Role of umbilicocerebral and cerebroplacental ratios in prediction of perinatal outcome in FGR pregnancies.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Aim of our study was to compare the prognostic value of the Umbilical-to-Cerebral ratio (UCR) directly to the Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in the prediction of poor perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR).

Methods

A retrospective study was carried out on pregnant women with either a small-for-gestational age (SGA) fetus or that were diagnosed with FGR. Doppler measurements of the two subgroups were assessed and the correlation between CPR, UCR and relevant outcome parameters was evaluated by performing linear regression analysis, binary logistic analysis and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves. Outcomes of interest were mode of delivery, acidosis, preterm delivery, gestational age at birth as well as birthweight and c
