Objective:To design a Doppler Hypoxic index (HI), which takes into account both the duration and the intensity of fetal flow redistribution (i.e. hypoxia) for predicting the occurrence of abnormal fetal heart rate (FHR) at delivery.Method:
Sixty-six pregnancies with hypertension and/or growth retardation (IUGR) were investigated (age: 23 ± 5 years; primigravidas: 30%, CS 59%; hospitalisation: 10 ± 8 days, IUGR (<10 c) 82%, intensive care 23%, fetal death 1). Umbilical (URI) and cerebral (CRI) Doppler resistance indices, and the C/U ratio (CRI/URI) were measured every 2 days from admission to delivery. HI was calculated by summing the daily%C/U reduction (in%from normal cut-off limit 1.1) over the period of observation (or mean C/U reduction in%from 1.1 × number of days of observation). Doppler C/U and HI were compared with fetal heart rate (FHR) traces, and perinatal data.
Results:
HI > 160%was associated with abnormal FHR in 80%of the cases (PPV = 87%, NPV = 88%). HI > 160%predicted the occurrence of abnormal FHR 8 ± 6 days before they happened.
Conclusion:
A combination of intensity and duration of the fetal flow redistribution (i.e. hypoxia) evaluated by Doppler is correlated with the occurrence of abnormal fetal heart rate.
