New angiology study findings have been reported from University of Pavia.
In this recent study, researchers in Pavia, Italy conducted a study "To evaluate the prognostic significance of the interaction between umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler measurements in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR). Cohort study. Third-level Perinatology Center in Northern Italy."
"A study of 184 singleton pregnancies at 24-35 weeks' gestational age complicated by FGR and abnormal UA Doppler measurements. FGR was diagnosed by serial ultrasonograms. Neonatal brain damage was defined as the presence of cystic leukomalacia or grade III-IV intraventricular hemorrhage. Perinatal death and neonatal brain damage. The prevalence of fetal/neonatal death or brain damage was 18.2% (16/88) in pregnancies with UA absent/reversed diastolic flow and 4.2% (4/96) in those with increased UA Doppler pulsatility. Stepwise logistic regression identified decreasing gestational age (OR=1.75, 95% confidence interval, CI=1.35-2.22) and absent/reversed UA blood flow (OR=3.34, 95% CI=1.1-10.9) as predictors of fetal/neonatal death or brain damage. A MCA pulsatility index below the 10th percentile was a risk factor for fetal/neonatal death or brain damage among women with absent/reversed UA diastolic flow (14/53 as compared to 2/35; OR=5.9, CI =1.4-40.3) but not in pregnancies with forward velocity (1/33 as compared to ...
