MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study population comprised 216 pregnant women from Lodz and Kalisz between 2003-2006. In the group I we included 68 women with IUGR observed in prenatal ultrasound examination and SGA neonates, in the group II--29 women with IUGR observed in US but normal neonatal weight and in the group III--110 women with normal fetal and neonatal weight.
RESULTS: Mean fetal weight in the group II was (2035 g +/- 400 g) and in the group I (1947 g +/- 414 g) and it was lower than in the group III (2765 g +/- 543 g) (p<0.0005). Notch in UTA was found more often in the group I (39.7%), than in the groups III (8.4%) and II (10.3%), (p< 0.0005). The mean PI in the right UTA in the group I (0.957 +/- 0.440) was higher than in the groups II (0.718 +/- 0.259) and III (0.730 +/- 0.215), (p<0.001). Abnormal Doppler flows in MCA in the groups I (39.7%) and II (34.5%) were observed more often than in the group III (6.4%), (p<0.0005). Similarly abnormal Doppler examination in DV in the groups I (45.5%) and II (46.4%) were observed more often than in the group III (17.8%), (p<0.0005). PI in UA in the groups I (1.061+/- 0.325) and II (0.965 +/- 0.184) was higher than in the group III (0.848 +/- 0.166), (p<0.0005). | | Language | pol | | Pub Type(s) | English Abstract
