Inter-and intra-observer variability in fetal ductus venosus blood flow measurements in high-risk fetuses at 26–32 weeks
CM Bruin, W Ganzevoort, E Schuit… - European Journal of …, 2019 - Elsevier
Objectives Early preterm fetal growth restriction is a significant contributor to perinatal
morbidity and mortality. The ductus venosus pulsatility index for veins (DV PIV) is proposed
as a monitoring tool because it appears to improve perinatal outcomes. The test
characteristics and robustness of DV PIV have been inadequately described. The aim of this
study was to investigate inter-and intra-observer variability of DV PIV. Study design Nineteen
women with a gestational age between 26 and 32 completed weeks were included in this …
