“…So, this study was similar to our study in proving pregnancy induced hypertension as most important risk factor. Likewise Geeta M et al, (2016), reported maternal hypertension in (42%) cases and anaemia in (2%) cases [12] . In another study by Shah D et al, (2017), 48% cases had pregnancy induced hypertension [13] .…”

“…In the present study, we observed that majority of patients accounting for (80%) had (35-36) weeks gestational age, followed by (12%) patients with gestational age in (34-35) weeks in, (6%) patients had their gestational age in (33-34) weeks and only (2%) had their gestational age (32-33) weeks. Geeta M et al, (2016), reported in a likewise study that 72% cases were >32 weeks of gestational age [12] . In a similar kind of study by Bhownik P et al, (2017), mean gestational age (35.2±3.46) weeks almost similar to our observation [14] .…”

“…In consonance to our study Anjum S et al, (2019) also reported maximum percentage of primigravidae [10] . Another study by Geeta M et al, (2016) showed 40% primigravidae patients [12] . Even though other studies did not mention much about gravidity of patients but majority of studies reported primigravidae as maximum patients which is similar to our observation.…”

“…Likewise Sharbaf et al, (2018), reported the mean maternal age as (27.83±5.85) years [11] . In a study conducted by Geeta M et al, (2016), 83% patients were in age group (21 -30) years [12] . In our study, out of 100 patients, (38%) had first gravidity, (29%) had gravida 2, (27%) had 3 rd gravidity and only (6%) patients had 4 th gravidity.…”

Background: Numerous adverse perinatal outcomes are associated with high-risk. The usage of doppler ultrasound bids a non-invasive way to study the fetal and maternal circulation and guide the clinical management. Objective of this study was to investigate the role of color doppler ultrasonography in effective management of high-risk pregnancies.Methods: A retrospective record-based study was carried out Department of obstetrics and gynecology. Record of antenatal women who belonged to the age group of 20-30 years with singleton pregnancy of gestational age of 26 weeks to term and presence of one of the high-risk factors were included in the study. The risk factors which were considered are pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), diabetes, anemia, oligohydramnios. Doppler study of umbilical artery was done. Epi-info 7 was used for analysis.Results: A total of 140 cases were studied in which high-risk pregnancy was most common in the age group of 20-25 years. The most common high-risk factor in pregnancy was PIH which accounted for 50% of cases. Out of 140 cases high-risk pregnancies, 40% of cases resulted in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). 43% of cases, umbilical artery findings were abnormal.Conclusions: Color doppler can be used as most effective for fetal surveillance in high-risk pregnancy cases. Most importantly it helps in guiding early intervention and improving fetal outcome.

The study aimed to determine the frequency of Doppler velocimetry usage in high-risk pregnancies and to compare the results between patients who received Doppler velocimetry and those who did not manage high-risk pregnancies. This descriptive study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2022 in the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department of PUMHS Nawabshah. A total of 110 pregnant women were admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology's OPD and ER. Both the patient and their guardian signed an informed consent form. Fifty-five patients underwent Doppler ultrasound in group I, while 55 patients did not have Doppler ultrasound in group II. A blood sample was obtained from each patient for baseline tests such as complete blood count, electrolytes, blood sugar level, blood urea, serum creatinine, and others. All data was analyzed using SPSS 26.0. The patient's mean age in group I was 26.12±6.39 years with a body mass index of 25.7±5.24 kg/m2, and in group II, the mean age was 27.4±10.67 years with a body mass index of 26.13±5.57 kg/m2. Gestational age in group I was 37.15±8.38 weeks, and in group II was 36.9±7.43 weeks. Frequency of C-section in group I was found in 30 (54.5%) and in group II was in 41 (74.5%) cases with p <0.004. Preterm deliveries were higher in group II in 26 (47.3%) cases than in group I in 15 (27.3%) cases. Abnormal amniotic fluid was higher in group I in 27 (49.1%) cases than in group II in 20 (36.4%). Doppler studies played a significant role in managing high-risk pregnancies and improving perinatal and neonatal outcomes. However, using other fetal well-being tests already well-established in clinical practice at each institution affects the role of Doppler studies in late pregnancy.
