Article Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in predicting composite adverse perinatal outcome (CAPO) in women with obesity compared to non-obese women at term.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study in a single tertiary referral centre over a 3-year period. All singleton pregnancies with CPR measurements ≥ 37 + 0 weeks and estimated fetal weight ≥ 10 centile and attempted vaginal delivery were included and divided into two groups defined by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI)
Results: The study cohort included 1207 pregnancies, of which 112 were women with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m . In obese women, CAPO occurred in 21 cases (18.8%) compared to 247 (22.6%) cases in women with BMI < 30 kg/m (p = 0.404). In the entire study cohort, CPR MoM was significantly lower in the CAPO and OD for IFC group. ROC analyses revealed a significant predictive value of low CPR MoM for CAPO in obese women (AUC = 0.64, p = 0.024). Furthermore, CPR was predictive for OD for IFC not only in obese (AUC = 0.72, p = 0.023) but also in non-obese (AUC = 0.61, p = 0.003) women.
Conclusions: Low CPR MoM was predictive for CAPO and OD for IFC in obese women without additional risk factors. However, the overall predictive performance of CPR for CAPO in obese women was poor.

Evaluation of maternal and fetal Doppler parameters in women undergoing a 50-g oral glucose challenge test: a cross-sectional observational study.

Background: Glucose challenge tests (GCT) are routinely used to screen for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), yet their acute effects on maternal and fetal hemodynamics remain unclear. Understanding these physiological responses is important in the context of increasing patient concern regarding the safety of such tests.
Aim: To investigate the acute effects of 50 g GCT on maternal and fetal Doppler ultrasound parameters in low-risk, healthy pregnant women.

Purpose: To determine the magnitude of fetal growth restriction (FGR) using fetal Doppler integrated with antenatal ultrasound in third-trimester screened pregnant women at Agra in northern India.
Methods: Screened participants underwent routine third-trimester ultrasound assessments integrating fetal Doppler studies. Any one or more of mean uterine artery (UtA) or umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index > 95th centile, middle cerebral artery (MCA) or cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) PI < 5th centile, absent or reversed end-diastolic velocity, or ductus venosus PI > 95th centile was considered abnormal Doppler studies.
Perinatal impacts of fetal growth velocity on small-for-gestational-age fetuses: A retrospective cohort study in a tertiary center.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Poissy/Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Poissy, France.
Introduction: The perinatal risk of reduced growth velocity among small for gestational age (SGA) has been poorly studied. Therefore, we assessed the impact of abdominal fetal growth velocity on perinatal morbidity and mortality among SGA fetuses with positive umbilical artery end-diastolic flow.
Material And Methods: This retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted between January 1, 2018, and May 31, 2022, at a tertiary center.
How maternal position affects umbilical and middle cerebral artery Doppler indices: insights from a scoping review.

Background: During pregnancy, the maternal supine position may reduce uterine and placental perfusion due to compression of the aorta and inferior vena cava by the gravid uterus, potentially impairing maternal and fetal oxygenation.
Objective: This scoping review aimed to summarize the available evidence on the impact of maternal positioning during ultrasound examinations on fetal Doppler indices of the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA).
Methods: Studies were eligible if they included pregnant women undergoing fetal Doppler assessment in at least two different maternal positions and reported outcomes related to UA and/or MCA indices.

Objectives: To evaluate the predictive value of markers of placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction for a composite adverse perinatal outcome (CAPO) in a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) population. We also aimed to identify profiles that discriminate fetuses as low or high risk for CAPO, and to evaluate the association of onset of labor and mode of birth with CAPO.
Methods: This was a preplanned post-hoc analysis of the DRIGITAT study, a Dutch multicenter cohort study of management strategy in 690 singleton SGA pregnancies at 32.
