EVALUATION OF PREDICTIVE ABILITY FOR THE INDICATOR OF NATAL CORD COILS OF THE PREGNANT WOMEN
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of sonographic measurement of the umbilical coiling index in term pregnancy & it's a relation to pregnancy outcome. Objectives: This study was designed to measure the umbilical coiling index antenatally in term pregnancy (prior to the onset of uterine contractions) for a group of pregnant women and clarify the relationship between the umbilical coiling index and perinatal outcomes. Methods: This study included (100) cases of pregnant women with uncomplicated, term, singleton pregnancies (free of labor pain), and all participants were examined by color Doppler ultrasound, during which umbilical cord cross-sectional area, umbilical vessels cross-sectional area, and umbilical coiling index were calculated and compared with Doppler parameters including umbilical vein blood flow volume, umbilical vein peak systolic velocity and umbilical artery pulsatility index. Results: Our study revealed that: The cross-sectional area of the umbilical cord was below the 10th percentile in 14% of fetuses. Birth weight and placental weight were in the lower limits in fetuses with the lean umbilical cord. Most of the umbilical cord parameters measured by ultrasound were of lower values in fetuses with the lean umbilical cord.
