Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Construction of reference centile chart of middle cerebral (MCA) and umbilical artery (UA) Doppler along with cerebroplacental ratio from 24 to 40 weeks gestation in Indian population. METHOD: It was a cross-sectional observational study; antenatal women between 24 and 40 weeks gestation underwent the MCA and UA Doppler. The centile charts for MCA, UA and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) were derived. RESULTS: Total 300 antenatal women were included; the MCA PI, RI, S/D ratio values showed a parabolic curve with the peak at 33-35 weeks; the umbilical artery Doppler and cerebroplacental ratio showed a linear decrease with increasing gestational age. The regression analysis showed a weak correlation between the Doppler parameters and the gestational age. The MOM values of all Doppler parameters, across the gestational age, were also derived. CONCLUSION: The constructed MCA, UA and CPR charts along with their MOM values could be used as reference for the regional population.
