Fetal growth retardation in multiple pregnancy: anthropometrical and haemodynamic criteria of early antenatal diagnosis

Abstract

Ultrasound investigation o f feta l biometry and haemodynamic indices in fetoplacental system during pregnancy since 14 weeks was carried out in 53 women havingtwins as a result o f spontaneous pregnancy or using o f assisted reproductive technology methods. The frequency and possible reasons oflU G R development in multiple pregnancy were analyzed. To predict the possibility o f IUG R in II and III trimester o f multiple pregnancy the mathematic model was worked out based on the standard fetometric indices measuring at 14-16 weeks o f pregnancy.
