title: [Doppler velocimetry for timing of delivery in intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) fetuses].
abstract: The aim of this study was to find a relationships between umbilical artery (UA) and MCA Doppler, ductus venosus (DV) Doppler and perinatal outcome in preterm, intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) fetuses. UA Doppler is a placental function test that provides important diagnostic and prognostic information in preterm IUGR. DV Doppler effectively identifies those preterm IUGR fetuses that are at high risk for adverse outcome (particularly stillbirth) at least 1 week before delivery, independent of the UA waveform. Relationships between perinatal outcome, arterial and venous Doppler status and gestational age require ongoing observational research effort.
