title: [The Doppler cerebroplacental ratios and perinatal outcome in post-term pregnancy].
abstract: Our purpose was to determine whether the Doppler cerebroplacental ratios predicts perinatal outcome in postterm pregnancy. The middle cerebral to umbilical artery resistant and pulsatility indices (MCA PI/UA PI and MCA RI/UA RI) were measured in 59 postterm pregnancies. We found significant correlation between MCA PI/UA PI, MCA RI/UA RI, nonstress testing and intrapartum fetal heart rate assessment. There was also an association between MCA PI/UA PI and 1- and 5-minute Apgar score. We conclude that the Doppler cerebroplacental ratios provide useful information about perinatal outcome.
