COMPARISON OF TRANS-CEREBELLAR DIAMETER/ABDOMINAL CIRCUMFERENCE RATIO VERSUS HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE/ABDOMINAL CIRCUMFERENCE RATIO AND THEIR OUTCOME IN ASYMMETRICAL INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RETARDATION

Abstract

AIM : To compare the accuracy of TCD/AC ratio with HC/AC ratio in predicting asymmetrical FGR. MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY DESIGN: Randamized, Comparative, Open label, Single centre, Prospective Parallel group Study STUDY CENTRE: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Government Raja Mirasudhar Hospital , Thanjvur medical college , Thanjavur. STUDY POPULATION: 200 antenatal women in two groups (100 as control and 100 as clinically suspected IUGR) was conducted in government Raja Mirasudhar hospital, Thanjvur medical college, Thanjavur during the period of January 2018-December 2018 (12 months) CONCLUSION : Both ratios were gestational age independent and can be used in detecting IUGR with good diagnostic accuracy. However, TCD/AC ratio had a better diagnostic validity and accuracy compared to HC/AC ratio in predicting asymmetric IUGR.
