Abstract
PURPOSE: The cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) is associated with adverse perinatal outcome (APO) in low-risk pregnancies near term. A Doppler parameter, which also includes information from the uterine vessels could potentially improve detection of subclinical placental dysfunction. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of cerebro-placental-uterine ratio (CPUR) related to APO prediction in low-risk term pregnancies in > 40 + 0 weeks. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study. All low-risk pregnancies in which feto-maternal Doppler was examined from 40 + 0 weeks and an appropriate for gestational age fetus was present were included. ROC (receiver operating characteristic curves) analyses were performed to assess the predictive value of CPUR. The presence of at least one of the following outcome parameters was defined as composite APO (CAPO): operative delivery (OD) due to intrapartum fetal compromise (IFC), admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, umbilical cord arterial pH ≤ 7.15, 5 min APGAR ≤ 7. RESULTS: A total of n = 114 cases were included. Mean gestational age at examination and delivery were 40 + 3 weeks and 40 + 6 weeks, respectively. Overall, CAPO occurred in 38 of 114 cases (33.3%). ROC analyses showed a significant association of CPUR (AUC = 0.67, p = 0.004) and CPR (AUC = 0.68, p = 0.002) with CAPO. Additionally, CPUR (AUC = 0.64, p = 0.040) showed a predictive value for OD due to IFC. CONCLUSION: The CPUR in > 40 + 0 weeks showed a predictive value for CAPO and OD due to IFC in low-risk pregnancies. However, the extent to which CPUR can be used to optimize delivery management warrants further investigations in prospective interventional studies.
