Uterine artery doppler velocimetry has proven to be efficient in the prediction of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. We aimed to determine its value among high-risk Bahamian women and the most predictive parameter.
We prospectively observed 128 women to detect the frequency of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction development in relation to uterine artery doppler velocimetry. The main outcome measures were resistance index, pulsatility index and notching.
The mean difference of 0.082 (±0.011; 95% CI: -0.096, -0.069) in the resistance index and 0.122 (±0.011; 95% CI: -0.144, -0.100) in the pulsatility index between those without preeclampsia and those with, was statistically significant ( < 0.001). The mean RI had a better prognostic value than the mean pulsatility index (OR: 2.623E+51 (95% CI: 2.577E+25, 2.671E+77); < 0.001. Notching showed a statistically significant with the development of intrauterine growth restriction.
The best predictor of preeclampsia was the Resistance Index indices, while end diastolic notching was the best predictor for intrauterine growth restriction.
子宫动脉多普勒测速已被证明在预测先兆子痫和胎儿宫内生长受限方面是有效的。我们旨在确定其在巴哈马高危女性中的价值以及最具预测性的参数。
我们前瞻性地观察了128名女性,以检测与子宫动脉多普勒测速相关的先兆子痫和胎儿宫内生长受限的发生频率。主要观察指标为阻力指数、搏动指数和切迹。
未患先兆子痫者与患先兆子痫者之间,阻力指数的平均差异为0.082(±0.011;95%可信区间:-0.096,-0.069),搏动指数的平均差异为0.122(±0.011;95%可信区间:-0.144,-0.100),差异具有统计学意义(<0.001)。平均阻力指数比平均搏动指数具有更好的预后价值(比值比:2.623E+51(95%可信区间:2.577E+25,2.671E+77);<0.001)。切迹与胎儿宫内生长受限的发生具有统计学意义。
先兆子痫的最佳预测指标是阻力指数,而舒张末期切迹是胎儿宫内生长受限的最佳预测指标。
