Doppler ultrasound prediction of fetal outcome in twin pregnancies. 1987

C Nimrod, and D Davies, and J Harder, and C Dempster, and G Dodd, and N McDicken, and S Nicholson

The usefulness of pulsed Doppler ultrasound in predicting twin pregnancies destined for unsatisfactory outcomes was examined in 30 twin pregnancies. Fetal flow velocity waveform analysis (systolic/diastolic ratio and pulsatility index) and quantitative analysis in the descending aorta and umbilical artery demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity when compared with biparietal diameter and abdominal circumference measurements. This technique shows some promise as a useful adjunct in the management of twin pregnancies.
