A Prospective Study

This was a prospective study conducted in pregnant patients with high risk factors who got admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Care Hospital, Jamnagar during the period from May 2018 to September 2020. Background: High-risk pregnancies causes many adverse perinatal outcomes. Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive technique to study the feto-maternal circulation to guide the clinical management. Objective: This study aims at evaluating the role of colour Doppler in high-risk pregnancies and their perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study carried out for 29 months in the Department of Radiology with antenatal women in the age group of 18-35 years with singleton pregnancy of gestational age of <28 weeks to >35 weeks having high-risk factors considered in study. The risk factors considered were pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), gestational diabetes, anemia, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios and IUGR. Doppler study of umbilical artery and fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) arteries was done and amniotic fluid index (AFI) was measured. Parameters in the form of resistive index, pulsatility index, and systolic/diastolic ratio were taken. obstetric history was taken with regular interval follow up. Results: The study was carried out with 50 patients. High-risk pregnancy was more common in the age group of 21-25 years. The most common high-risk factor in pregnancy was oligohydramnios which accounted for 30% of cases. Out of 50 high-risk pregnancies, 5 (10 %) of cases resulted in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Out of 50 high-risk cases, in 36 cases, umbilical artery findings were abnormal. 3 patients had intrauterine death (IUD) and 27 patients had poor perinatal outcome. Umbilical artery abnormality showed significant sensitivity and negative predictive value for adverse (poor + IUD) perinatal. Correlation was seen between high risk pregnancy and need of emergency caesarean section and induction and associated adverse perinatal outcome. Conclusion: Combination of different arterial waveform study enhance the diagnostic accuracy in identifying those intrauterine growth restricted foetuses that were at risk. Keywords: Colour Doppler, high risk pregnancy, perinatal outcome.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the role of routine third trimester ultrasound in low-risk pregnancy on antenatal interventions and perinatal outcome. Design Randomized controlled study. Setting KLES Dr Prabhakar Kore Hospital and Medical Research Center, Belgaum. Subjects A total of 290 low-risk pregnant women between 34 and 37 weeks attending antenatal clinic and fulfilling inclusion criteria were allotted using computer-generated randomization numbers into study and control groups. Intervention In study group, third trimester ultrasound was performed to assess fetal growth, amniotic fluid index (AFI), malpresentations, and late onset fetal anomalies. In control group, no routine ultrasound was performed, unless indicated by clinical suspicion during subsequent visits. High-risk fetuses identified were managed as per the standard protocol. All women were followed to assess antenatal interventions, intrapartum events and perinatal outcome. Results Detection of high-risk fetuses antenatally in study and control groups was 17.25 and 2.07% respectively. This difference was statistically significant (p = —0.0001). Rates of antenatal interventions among study and control were 24.8 and 4.44% respectively. Prevalence of small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses among study and control was 6.9 vs 11.03% respectively. This difference was not statistically significant (p = —0.253). There was no statistical difference in adverse intrapartum events, cesarean section rate for nonreassuring cardiotocography (CTG), low Apgar score and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions among study and controls. Conclusion Routine third trimester ultrasound is a logical solution for detection of high-risk fetuses in low-risk pregnancies which would otherwise be missed by clinical examination. However, this leads to an increase in antenatal interventions without significantly influencing the perinatal outcome. How to cite this article Revankar KG, Dhumale H, Pujar Y.

The Impact

Introduction: The 10th percentile of expected foetal weight for gestational age is classified as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) or foetal growth restriction. IUGR occurs for a variety of reasons. Any issue with the placenta is a major contributor. Aims and objectives: 1) To determine the role of ultrasonography in screening high risk mothers for detection of IUGR. 2) To find out the impact of fetal parameters on the extent of IUGR.3) For correlation between sonographic pattern of IUGR and the birth weight. 4) For correlation between doppler parameters and perinatal outcome. Materials and methods: This is a prospective study done over a period of 2 years in Mamata General Hospital (MGH) from Oct 2017 to Oct 2019. Study included 50 pregnant women with high risk factors and clinically suspected IUGR attending for ultrasound examination were subjected to Uterine, Umbilical and Middle cerebral artery Doppler along with morphology and biometry scan after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Reverse, absence or slow end diastolic flow was considered abnormal which was seen in 33 patients. Nine patients had Absent /Reversed end diastolic flow of which, 3 patients had IUD, 4 had Still births, 2 were admitted in NICU with apgar at 1min <7. Middle cerebral artery was abnormal in 10 patients, of which 8 patients had IUGR babies with adverse perinatal outcome. MCA/UA S.D ratio, which was abnormal in 19 patients of which 16 patients had adverse perinatal outcome. Conclusion: Doppler has proven to be more sensitive than other methods of foetal monitoring in recognising fetal compromises early and assisting in the proper time of delivery. Keywords: Ultrasonography, doppler, IUGR.
