Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: The aim of this study is to study the utility of Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in assessing perinatal outcome. This is a prospective observational study done in pregnant females presenting with high risk factors for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The study was conducted in antenatal outpatient department of Gauhati Medical College Hospital which is a tertiary care hospital located at Guwahati in the state of Assam, Northeast state of India. The study was conducted during the period of 1year w.e.f 1st September 2016 to 31st August 2017.The pregnant women were followed till discharge to know the perinatal outcome. Doppler ultrasound was done for all the selected patients and Cerebroplacental ratio was calculated. The primary outcome assessed was perinatal mortality and secondary outcomes were birth weight, neonatal intensive care unit admission and were compared with CPR.CPR<1.08 was taken to be the abnormal cut off based on previous studies by Baschatet al.[1] .Our study showed that there was significantly poor perinatal outcome when CPR is <1.08 in a pregnant women. Fetuses having CPR<1.08 had a statistically significant increased chance of perinatal mortality, NICU admission and low birth weight. Keywords:Cerebroplacental ratio, perinatal outcome, perinatal mortality, NICU admission, Doppler.
