About this trial
This observational study investigates whether blood flow in the ductus venosus, a small fetal vein measured by Doppler ultrasound, is related to pregnancy outcomes. A total of pregnant women with and without intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) will be examined between 24 and 37 weeks of gestation. Ductus venosus Doppler parameters will be recorded and compared with perinatal outcomes such as Apgar scores, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and perinatal mortality. The aim of this research is to improve the early identification of high-risk pregnancies and to support better monitoring and management strategies for fetal health.
