title: [Value of selected biophysical surveillance methods in prediction and prophylaxis of complications associated with adverse pregnancy outcome in intrauterine growth restriction].
abstract: Intrauterine growth restriction is associated with higher rate of complications occurring during pregnancy and in labour, increased morbidity and mortality rate in neonatal period, impaired psychosomatic development in childhood and increased susceptibility for particular diseases in adulthood. For improvement of perinatal outcome it is essential to establish objective criteria based on biophysical surveillance methods for prediction and prophylaxis of adverse outcome in IUGR pregnancies. The aim of the study was to compare selected biophysical surveillance methods in prediction and prophylaxis of complications associated with adverse pregnancy outcome in intrauterine growth restriction. There were statistically significant differences in CTG, BPS, AFI, and pulsatile index values in umbilical artery and MCA between IUGR and normal fetuses. The best predictor of adverse pregnancy outcome in IUGR fetuses was PI value in umbilical artery.
