Use of Placental Growth Factor and Uterine Artery Doppler Pulsatility Index in Pregnancies Involving Intrauterine Fetal Growth Restriction or Preeclampsia to Predict Perinatal Outcomes

The potential of uterine artery (UA) Doppler pulsatility index (PI) and maternal serum placental growth factor (PlGF) level to predict perinatal outcome was explored in pregnancies complicated by intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR) or preeclampsia (PE).This longitudinal, prospective, and case-controlled study was conducted over a period of 24 months. At-risk pregnancies involving small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses, IUGR,...
