This study analyses the influence of pathological prenatal Doppler flow measurements in the umbilical artery on morbidity and mortality in infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. It includes 65 patients born in the hospital MRI between 01.01.1997 and 30.06.1999: Group P with abnormal and control group N with normal doppler flow findings. In spite of a few results showing a significant higher rate of complications for the patients with abnormal waveforms (weight and length at birth, bloody stool, thrombocytopaenia, secondary infection) as well as a significant higher rate of cesarian section, morbidity and mortality are not found more often in these group compared with the control group with normal flow findings. The best time for delivery could be determined by the Doppler flow measurement. The fetal outcome of both groups can therefore adjust. There are no other requirements for the neonatal intensive care of preterm infants with abnormal waveforms compared with infants with normal flow findings.
