ASSOCIATION OF MID-TRIMESTER UTERINE ARTERY DOPPLER WITH ADVERSE PERINATAL OUTCOMES

Background: Abnormal placentation leads to increased uteroplacental vascular resistance, which can be assessed noninvasively using uterine artery Doppler.While uterine artery Doppler has been widely studied for prediction of preeclampsia, its role in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes remains clinically relevant.To evaluate the association Aim: between mid-trimester uterine artery Doppler findings and adverse perinatal outcomes.This Materials And Methods: prospective observational study included 155 pregnant women between 13 and 24 weeks of gestation.Bilateral uterine artery Doppler was performed, assessing pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and presence of early diastolic notch.Patients were followed until delivery.Adverse perinatal outcomes assessed included intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preterm delivery, low birth weight, and NICU admission.Statistical analysis was performed using Chisquare test, with p
