There was also a linear correlation between proximal and distal cerebroplacental ratios (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic> = 0.68; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001), the mean values being 1.85 (SD, 1.96) and 1.92 (SD, 1.89), respectively. The stepwise multiple regression analysis for umbilical artery pH showed that once the distal middle cerebral artery pulsatility index was introduced into the model, the addition of any variable did not result in a significant improvement of the predictive capacity. The model showed a coefficient of determination (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) of 0.079. There was a significant correlation between umbilical artery pO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and both proximal middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (positive) and the occurrence of elective Cesarean section (negative). This model accounted for 21% of the variance (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.21).

There is a weak association between distal middle cerebral artery pulsatility index and pH but, as this only explains 8% of the variance, it is of little clinical value. Copyright \u00a9 2004 ISUOG.
