Prevalence and Factors Associated With Abnormal Cerebroplacental Ratio Among Women With Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy at a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Southwestern Uganda

Abstract

Conclusion: On average, half of the women with hypertensive disorders have abnormal CPR. Women with severe pre-eclampsia or eclampsia are more likely to have abnormal CPR. Obstetric Doppler studies with CPR may be warranted for all pregnant women with severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. We recommend further research to assess perinatal outcomes among those with and without abnormal CPR to profile women with HDP at increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes.
