This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the relationship between ductus venosus Doppler parameters and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Pregnant women diagnosed with IUGR will undergo longitudinal Doppler assessments of the ductus venosus during the third trimester. The Doppler indices will be correlated with perinatal outcomes, including Apgar scores, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, and perinatal mortality. The study seeks to determine whether serial ductus venosus Doppler measurements can serve as predictive markers of adverse neonatal outcomes in IUGR pregnancies.
