The cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) is an important predictor and prevents approximately 30% of these adverse perinatal outcomes. We determined the prevalence and factors associated with abnormal CPR among women with HDP at MRRH.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> We conducted a cross\u2010sectional study from December 2022 to May 2023 at the high\u2010risk obstetrics unit of MRRH. We consecutively enrolled all women with hypertensive disorders and gestational ages \u2265\u200926 weeks and performed obstetric Doppler studies to document the pulsatility index (PI) of the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) and then calculated the CPR as a ratio of the MCA\u2010PI and UA\u2010PI. The prevalence of women with an abnormal CPR \u2264 1.0 was expressed as a percentage. We used robust modified Poisson regression analysis to determine the factors associated with abnormal CPR.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> We enrolled 128 women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, with a mean age of 28.8 \u00b1 6.3 years. Of these, 67 (52.3%) had abnormal CPR. The factors associated with abnormal CPR were severe pre\u2010eclampsia (adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR): 5.0, 95% CI: 1.28, 29.14) and eclampsia (aPR: 5.27, 95% CI: 1.11, 34.27).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>: On average, half of the women with hypertensive disorders have abnormal CPR. Women with severe pre\u2010eclampsia or eclampsia are more likely to have abnormal CPR. Obstetric Doppler studies with CPR may be warranted for all pregnant women with severe pre\u2010eclampsia 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.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/8895971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,17]],"date-time":"2024-10-17T12:56:42Z","timestamp":1729169802000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prevalence and Factors Associated With Abnormal Cerebroplacental Ratio Among Women With Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy at a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Southwestern Uganda"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Suada Suleiman","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yarine Fajardo","family":"Tornes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8445-9585","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Musa","family":"Kayondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fidel Kasereka","family":"Tsongo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9703-3877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Godfrey Rwambuka","family":"Mugyenyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5253-9516","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph","family":"Ngonzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8177-8786","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henry Mark","family":"Lugobe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8407-8363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julius Sebikali","family":"Mugisha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2572-4051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leevan","family":"Tibaijuka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0241207"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2014.05.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006250-199203000-00018"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.33545\/gynae.2021.v5.i1b.793"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.33545\/26644436.2020.v3.i1c.74"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.51253\/pafmj.v71i4.4567"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.3805"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.2019180152"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.semperi.2007.11.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.preghy.2018.08.446"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_11_2","first-page":"022","article-title":"Cerebroplacental ratio and cerebrouterine ratio in predicting neonatal outcome in preeclamptic pregnant Women","volume":"4","author":"El Guindy A.
