Upon study inclusion, all women underwent Doppler ultrasound, including umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI), middle cerebral artery (MCA) PI, fetal aortic isthmus (AoI) PI, umbilical vein blood flow (UVBF), and modified myocardial performance index (mod-MPI).

There was no difference when comparing AoI PI, UA PI, ACM PI, or mod-MPI. No association was found for neonatal acidosis. After multivariate logistic regression, UVBF\/AC remained independently associated with cesarean section due to IFC (aOR 0.61 [0.37; 0.91], p\u2009=\u20090.03) and yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.78 (95% CI, 0.67\u20130.89). A cut-off value set at the 50th centile of UVBF\/AC reached a sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 58% for the occurrence of cesarean section due to IFC (OR 8.1; 95% CI, 1.7\u201337.8, p\u2009=\u20090.003).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Low levels of umbilical vein blood flow (UVBF\/AC) were associated with an increased risk among SGA fetuses to be delivered by cesarean section for IFC.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-024-07559-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,24]],"date-time":"2024-05-24T17:02:08Z","timestamp":1716570128000},"page":"719-728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Association between Doppler assessment and secondary cesarean delivery for intrapartum fetal compromise in small-for-gestational-age fetuses"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"310","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3439-3872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna S.","family":"Scholz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vanessa","family":"R\u00f3nay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Wallwiener","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Herbert","family":"Fluhr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"von Au","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Spratte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Wallwiener","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Elsaesser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"7559_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"298","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.22134","volume":"56","author":"CC Lees","year":"2020","unstructured":"Lees CC, Stampalija T, Baschat A et al (2020) ISUOG Practice Guidelines: diagnosis and management of small-for-gestational-age fetus and fetal growth restriction.
