Evaluation of fetal outcomes in dichorionic diamniotic twins with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy by the fetal middle cerebral artery and umbilical artery doppler by Ling-ling Liu, Hai-hua Xu, Xin Lin

“…Maternal and fetal outcomes were compared, the fetal MCA and UA doppler indices were analyzed, including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), the ratio of peak systolic blood flow velocity to end-diastolic blood flow velocity (S/D), and the mean velocities (Vm), and the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) was computed for further study.
