  • Title: [Estimation of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity at 18-39 weeks of gestation in Polish population].
    Author: Chodkowski M, Swiatkowska-Freund M, Preis K.
    Journal: Ginekol Pol; 2015 Nov; 86(11):806-10. PubMed ID: 26817311.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: The aim of this paper was to establish normal values of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) between 18-39 weeks' gestation in the Polish population and to compare the results with values published by other authors, for different populations seeking the discrepancies between them. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 280 healthy pregnant women from the Polish population underwent ultrasound examination. The cross-sectional data were obtained based on the measurements of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity A chart of normal MCA-PSV values as a function of the gestational age was constructed. RESULTS: Normal ranges for MCA-PSV in the Polish population were established. The results were compared with values published by other authors, for different populations. CONCLUSIONS: The use of MCA-PSV measurements has proven itself to be a reliable method in diagnosis of fetal anemia. Differences in normal values of MCA-PSV in the Polish population compared with other nations have been observed.
