Abstract

Background: The established method of antenatal monitoring known as doppler ultrasoongraphy velocimetry of utero-placental umbilical and foetal vessels. Studies on the cerebralplacental ratio have been done to anticipate neonatal achievements. Aim and objectives: to assess the impact of intrauterine growth retardation on pregnancy outcomes in the high-risk partureints using the cerebro-placental ratio. Patients and methods: A case control trial, whereas 100 of conceived females shared and similarly distributed to paired collections, each collection includes 50 of women first group: about high-risk conceived females suffering IUGR and the second is control group: about50 high-risk conceived females with no IUGR. At the time of the research. Results: Cerebro-Placental relation demonstrated importance at cut-off point of 1.03 in prediction of IUGR with 87.2% in sensitivity, 71.6% of specificity , and the values as the +ve Predictive Value of 83%, and the -ve Predictive Value of 79%. Conclusion: The cerebro-placental value considers a great prediction method for the perinatal results when there is an intrauterine growth restriction and the pregnancy is in high risk.
