Suspected Fetal Growth Restriction at 37 Weeks: A Comparison of Doppler and Placental Pathology

Table 12

Prevalence of placental pathology: abnormal versus normal Doppler in suspected FGR for subjects with umbilical and MCA Doppler evaluations.

Doppler type	Abnormal Doppler		Normal Doppler		OR (95% CI)	value
	Placental pathology		Placental pathology
	Yes	No	Yes	No
Any	35 (85.4)	6 (14.6)	13 (48.1)	14 (51.9)	6.28 (1.75, 23.5)	0.001
Umbilical	9 (75.0)	3 (25.0)	39 (69.6)	17 (30.4)	1.31 (0.27, 7.02)	1.000
MCA	25 (96.2)	1 (3.8)	23 (54.8)	19 (45.2)	20.7 (2.54, 447.1)	<0.001
Uterine	15 (88.2)	2 (11.8)	13 (61.9)	8 (38.1)	4.62 (0.69, 38.6)	0.136

OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, MCA = middle cerebral artery, and FGR = fetal growth restriction
