- Abstract
This article, published in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, examines the association between abnormal umbilical vein flow (UVF) and undetected small for gestational age (SGA) in low-risk pregnancies. The study found that undetected SGA was more common in fetuses with abnormal UVF compared to those with normal UVF. The researchers measured UVF/AC (umbilical vein flow to abdominal circumference) and found that a lower UVF/AC was associated with undetected SGA. The study suggests that if UVF/AC falls below the 20th percentile, there is a higher likelihood of abnormal fetal growth patterns.
