Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the relation between middle cerebral to umbilical artery pulsatility index ratio and uterine artery pulsatility and resistive indices with birth weights in normal pregnancies. Methods. The pulsatility indices were obtained together with the birth weight from 160 healthy pregnancies. Measurements were done at five weeks intervals from 20 weeks’ gestation until delivery. A relationship between indices and birth weight was sought at gestational age ranges of 20 th to 40th weeks. Results. The values of pulsatility indices towards to 40th weeks of gestation were decreased progressively. There was a correlation between the pulsatility indices of uterine and the middle cerebral arteries nd the birth weights of cases. Conclusion. Doppler pulsatility index measurements can be valuable in detecting birth weight.
