Association Between Fetal Middle Cerebral Artery and Umbilical Artery Doppler Ratio with Fetal Distress in 38-40 Weeks of Gestation.

Background And Objective: Knowing the factors affecting fetal distress is of particular importance in improving prognosis in newborns. The study aimed to determine the relationship between fetal middle cerebral artery pulsatility indexes and umbilical artery Doppler ratio with fetal distress at 38-40 weeks of gestation.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective cohort, 181 consecutive pregnant women with 38-40 weeks of gestational age were selected by a non-random convenience sampling method from January 2016 to January 2017.
