Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of relationship between uterineartery Doppler findings, Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels for perinataloutcomes.MATERIALS AND METHODS: First fifty pregnant with 18 weeks of gestation who were admitted to the clinicfrom July 2009 were to be examined. The study includedforty nine of pregnants and they were followed prospectively.Serum concentrations of AFP and β-hCG measuredbetween 16-18 weeks of pregnancy and suprapubicDoppler ultrasonography for uterine artery performedbetween 22-24 weeks of pregnancy were noted. Hypertensionbefore pregnancy or previous pregnancies withpreeclampsia-eclampsia, history of recurrent pregnancyloss, history of low birth weight newborn, history of cardiacor renal disease, diabetes mellitus and anticoagulationor aspirin treatments were determined as exclusioncriteria. Chi-square test was performed for comparisionof datas because of non-parametric specialities.RESULTS: The ages of the pregnants were between 19and 35. The mean gravidity and parity of the study cohortwere 2.1 and 1.6 respectively. There were no correlationsamong uterine artery Doppler findings, serum β-hCG levelsand perinatal outcomes. Serum AFP concentrationswere significantly higher in all patients with intrauterinegrowth restriction (IUGR). Also 4 patients had IUGR, 9 patientshad preterm labor, 7 patients had gestational diabetes,2 patients had preeclampsia, 2 patients had fetaldistress and 6 patients had fetal meconium. There wereno correlations for perinatal outcomes except IUGR.CONCLUSION: A number of tests performed to predictadverse obstetric outcomes but the benefits are limited.Developing of more specific serum markers and ultrasonographyparameters in order to determination of risksduring pregnancy, would be very useful for preventivemedicine and treatment of complications.
