A comparison of Doppler measures of ovarian blood flow between women with and without ovarian dysfunction and correlations of Doppler indices with ovarian dysfunction markers: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Doppler ultrasonography is used to study ovarian vascular characteristics. However, the outcomes are reported with a considerable variability in literature. Here we review the differences in Doppler ultrasound-measured ovarian blood flow indices between women with and without ovarian dysfunction and seeks correlations between Doppler measures and ovarian markers.

Methods

A literature search was conducted in electronic databases (Google Scholar, Ovid, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer) to identify studies that used Doppler for ovarian blood flow examination and reported Doppler measures in women with and without ovarian dysfunction and/or the correlations between wDoppler indices and markers of ovarian dysfunction. After quality assessment of included studies, a
