Prior to initiation of the induction of labor, all included pregnant women underwent an assessment of Doppler flow indices, which included fetal umblical artery PI (pulsatility index) and fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA:Middle cerebral arter) PI. Cerebroplacental Ratio (CPR) was calculated by dividing MCA PI value to umbilical artery PI (MCA PI/UA PI=CPR).Included pregnant women were categorized as Group 1 and Group 2, which comprised of those with CPR value below 1.0 and above 1.0, respectively. Route of delivery and fetal complications, described as umbilical cord pH<7.20, APGAR score at 5 minutes <7, meconium aspiration syndrome, newborn intensive care unit admission, neonatal sepsis and neonatal death.
