Abstract
This study was conducted on 50 diabetic pregnant females to evaluate the role of middle cerebral artery Doppler compared to the umbilical artery Doppler. Fetal outcome was assessed regarding neonatal acidosis, gestational age at delivery, hypoglycemia, ICU admission and neonatal deaths. It was found that there was statistically significant relation between abnormal MCA Doppler and abnormal neonatal outcome, Regarding umbilical artery Doppler, there was no significant difference in pH and Apgar 5-min between the 2 groups (p 0.05) however there was significance regarding gestational age of delivery and Apgar 1-min.
