Brief summary

can we predict neonatal outcome by the results of 3rd trimester MCA Doppler Indices In pregnant women with anemia?? --- the aim of this study is to evaluate values of MCA Doppler indices in determining fetal outcome in pregnant women with anemia.

Detailed description

This Cross\_ sectional study will be performed At OBS/ GYN Department Sohag University Hospital for 1 year duration between February 2025 to February 2026. All cases of pregnant women diagnosed with anemia at 3rd trimester will have baseline assessment of history, clinical examination, HB level, obstetric ultrasonography done then they will have Middle Cerebral Artery Doppler done to assess correlation between MCA Doppler indices & neonatal outcomes. Then appropriate treatment of anemia will be taken. Doppler indices and placental weight.
