Clinical utility of third‐trimester uterine artery Doppler in the prediction of brain hemodynamic deterioration and adverse perinatal outcome in small‐for‐gestational‐age fetuses

UtA Doppler indices predict adverse perinatal outcome, but do not help to improve the predictive value of brain Doppler indices. However, at the time of SGA diagnosis they identify the subgroup of fetuses at highest risk of progression to abnormal brain Doppler findings.
