ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study was to asses the correlation of middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (MCA-PI) and perinatal outcomes in prolonged pregnancies. STUDYDESIGN:
This was a prospective study of all consecutive pregnant women beyond 41 weeks' gestation attending for obstetric surveillance during a two years period. We evaluated the predictive value of MCA-PI lower than the 5th percentile (RESULTS:
Three hundred and one pregnancies met the inclusion criteria and were managed expectantly. Of them, 31 (10.3%) fetuses had an MCA-PIâ<âp5, which showed a significant relationship with the presence of thick meconium at birth (pâ<â0.001), but was not related to any of the other perinatal outcomes.CONCLUSION:
In prolonged pregnancies, the finding of MCA-PIâ<âp5 is related to meconium emission at the time of delivery, but is not associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome.
