Abstract

Background: Pregnancy complications including growth restriction are linked to serious morbidities such foetal death and long-term neurodevelopmental impairments. for gestational age, small (SGA), which can have a variety of reasons, is frequently associated with placental insufficiency. Aim and objectives: to examine the relationship between the first-trimester uterine artery Doppler indices and the intrauterine growth retardation (UGR) in postpartum small-for-gestational-age (SGA) new borns (IUGR). Subjects and methods; A prospective observational research involving 120 patients was carried out.The study was conducted at Al-Azhar University hospitals. The duration of the study ranged from 6-12 months. Result: When it comes to uterine artery Indices by Doppler and notching, there is a substantial difference between the three groups that were analysed. Thus, RI and PI were significantly highest in IUGR group and lowest in normal group. Conclusion: By measuring UtA-PI and Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) can be predicted using first-trimester uterine artery Doppler (IUGR).
