Expanding Doppler Velocimetry Horizons: Predicting Hypoxia and Adverse Perinatal Outcomes Using Fetal Middle Cerebral Artery Diastolic Deceleration Area
While MCA DDA is significantly elevated in FGR cases and provides valuable insights into cerebral diastolic blood flow, its predictive ability for adverse perinatal outcomes is moderate compared to traditional Doppler indices like CPR and CPUR. Integrating MCA DDA with established parameters may enhance fetal surveillance and improve perinatal outcome prediction in pregnancies complicated by FGR.
