Antenatal Doppler disturbances are associated with fetal hypoxia and may induce a brain-sparing vascular redistribution at the expense of splanchnic circulation, possibly predisposing to gut complications. We aimed to compare several gastrointestinal outcomes among very-low-birthweight (VLBW) preterm infants with different antenatal Doppler features. VLBW infants born between 2010-2022 were retrospectively included and stratified into the following clusters based on antenatal Doppler characteristics: normal Doppler (controls); absent or reversed end-diastolic flow in the umbilical artery (UA-AREDF) alone or also in the ductus venosus (UA+DV-AREDF); and abnormal Doppler with or without brain-sparing redistribution. The following outcomes were evaluated: time to reach full enteral feeds (FEF), feeding intolerance (FI), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP). Overall, 570 infants were included. Infants born following UA+DV-AREDF had significantly higher FI, NEC, and SIP rates and achieved FEF later compared to controls. Increased FI prevalence and a longer time to FEF compared to controls were also observed among UA-AREDF infants and in the presence of brain-sparing redistribution, which also increased NEC rates. Antenatal Doppler abnormalities exacerbate the gastrointestinal risks of preterm infants. Detailed knowledge of Doppler features can aid in identifying those at highest risk of intestinal complications who may benefit from tailored enteral feeding management.
