Relation between Placental Thickness Measurements and Fetal Outcome in Patients with Intra- Uterine Growth Restriction [IUGR]

Background: Placental thickness appears to be a promising parameter for estimation of gestational age of the fetus due to steady increase in placental thickness with gestational age.  Aim of the work: To investigate the relationship between placental thickness and fetal outcome in patients with int...

Patients and Methods:This study included patients with fetuses diagnosed clinically and by ultrasound as IUGR [estimated fetal weight <10th percentile for gestational age], singleton pregnancy, gestational age between 28 – 40 weeks of gestation, maternal age between 20-40 years old and body mass index between 18-30 kg/m2. The placental thickness was measured at the second and third trimesters and correlated with the fetal outcome. Results: Results revealed that, estimated fetal weight significantly increased in normal placenta when compared to either thin or thick placentae. In addition, thin placentae had significantly low fetal birth weight [1936.4±409.2] when compared to thick placentae [2236.4±410.1] or normal placentae [2636.4±421.4].
