Umbilical Cord Abnormalities in the Prediction of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

ULOOP
Start date: October 3, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The objective of our study is to investigate the association of umbilical cord abnormalities with adverse pregnancy outcomes. The umbilical cord parameters that will be investigated as part of this study include the umbilical cord coiling index (UCI), umbilical cord (UC) diameter, umbilical vein (UV) diameter, UV flow velocity and the presence of nuchal cord. The UCI, UC, UV diameter & flow and presence of nuchal cord will be measured in routine unselected populations at 20-22 weeks and 35-37 weeks gestation during the study period. We will also measure the UC and UV diameter in a nested population of high-risk pregnancies attending our placental disorders clinic which have been deemed to be at risk of having adverse pregnancy outcomes. Primary objective: To investigate if prenatal assessment of UCI, UC, UV diameter & flow and presence of nuchal cord measured routinely in unselected screened populations at 20-22 weeks and 35-37 weeks' can provide an independent prediction of pregnancies that develop adverse pregnancy outcomes. Secondary objectives: To assess the correlation of UC and UV diameter measured by ultrasound scan and fetal magnetic resonance imaging in prediction of pregnancy outcome. To examine the association of these umbilical cord measurements and observations in a nested cohort of pregnancies in the high-risk placental disorders clinic.
