Abstract
Background: The umbilical coiling index (UCI) is an essential marker for monitoring the cord coiling by doppler antenatal assessment strategy.Click or tap here to enter text. Cord coiling is leading cause for foetal vascular mal -perfusion and intra vascular thromboses especially in hyper coiled state. From academic standpoint, it is necessary to conduct an observational analytical study the correlation of the abnormal UCI with adverse pregnancy outcomes .
Aim:
- Explore the correlation between adverse pregnancy of singleton pregnancy with abnormal umbilical cord coiling during the research period and by available resources in Bent AL-Huda Hospital in 2024.
- General foetal health monitoring by precise scheduled ultrasonic antenatal care visits for the included pregnant mothers.
Method and material: An observational analytical study the correlation of the abnormal UCI with adverse pregnancy outcomes in Bent AL-Huda Hospital in 2024. A multistage cluster sampling method was conducted to recruit (150) pregnant mothers. The data gathered by survey questionnaire and processed by statistical analysis.
Results: The UCI values were about (79%, n =119) which was regarded as Normocoiled group and remaining (11%, n =16) were Hyper-coiled and (10% n =15) were Hypo-coiled groups in Bent AL-Huda Hospital in 2024.UCI has about (0.07) value as minimum and (0.63) as maximum vales. The mean SD of the UCI was 0.31± 0.05 with 95% confidence interval. The Mean of the UCI was the (0.24) by this study. There is a significant association between hyper- coiled group of the UC and IUGR (P-value 0.004). Thers is a significant association (P-Value =0.001) between the Hyper-coiled group and CS deliveries with the percentage of (31%: 5) cases.
