Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between absent end-diastolic velocities of the umbilical artery and perinatal mortality and morbidity
TL;DR: When compared with fetuses from the study population with end-diastolic velocities present, the gestational age and birth weight at delivery was significantly lower, and the perinatal mortality, neonatal morbidity and number of light for Gestational age (LGA) babies was significantly higher in the AEDV group.
