Objective.
Our objective was determining if abnormal Doppler evaluation had a higher prevalence of placental pathology compared to normal Doppler in suspected fetal growth restriction (FGR) of cases delivered at 37 weeks.
Study Design.
This retrospective cohort study of suspected FGR singletons with antenatal Doppler evaluation delivered at 37 weeks had a primary outcome of the prevalence of placental pathology related to FGR.
Significance was defined as p≤0.05.
Results.
Of 100 pregnancies 46 and 54 were in the abnormal and normal Doppler cohorts, respectively.
Placental pathology was more prevalent with any abnormal Doppler, 84.8% versus 55.6%, odds ratio (OR) 4.46, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.55, 13.22, and p=0.002.
Abnormal middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler had a higher prevalence: 96.2% versus 54.8%, OR 20.7, 95% CI: 2.54, 447.1, and p<0.001.
Conclusion.
Abnormal Doppler was associated with more placental pathology in comparison to normal Doppler in fetuses with suspected FGR.
Abnormal MCA Doppler had the strongest association.
