About

the effects of fetal EFT on fetal cardiac function and fetal and maternal outcomes were investigated in obese pregnant women compared with normal-weight pregnant women.

Full description

All pregnant women underwent a comprehensive fetal anomaly screening. One obstetrician (S.D.) assessed all of the measurements. Every measurement was performed using a convex 2-5 MHz Voluson E8 probe (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI). Fetal biometry, UA, MCA Doppler, cerebroplacental ratio (CPR), modified MPI (mod-MPI), and EFT were assessed in accordance with the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) guidelines
