Assessment of the Relation of Uterine Artery Doppler flow and Maternal Age during Second Trimester
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Abnormal uterine artery Doppler results have been shown to be strongly correlated with several types of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Aim of the study: To assess the relation of uterine artery Doppler flow and maternal age during second trimester. Materials and methods: For the study, we selected 50 normal pregnant women between the age of 20 to 40 years. The gestational period for each subject was between 14 to 28 weeks. The calculation of gestational age was done from first day of last normal menstrual period and confirmed by either first or early second trimester ultrasound scan. Color Doppler flow was used to identify right and left uterine arteries at apparent crossover with external illiac artery. Uterine artery waveforms were obtained by performing pulsed wave Doppler using ultrasound machine. Mean pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) were calculated. Results: The mean age of subjects ranged from 20 to 40 years. The subjects were grouped into two groups, subjects with maternal age <30 years and subjects with maternal age >30 years. The comparison between both the groups for PI, RI and S/D ratio was non-significant. Conclusion: There is no correlation between maternal age and uterine artery PI, RI and S/D ratio in normal pregnancy. The uterine artery PI, RI and S/D ratios were not different in younger and elderly groups
