Brief summary
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of the Amniotic-Umbilical-to-Cerebral Ratio (AUCR) in predicting composite adverse perinatal outcomes in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and to compare its predictive performance with the traditional Cerebroplacental Ratio (CPR)
Detailed description
A prospective cohort study will be conducted to compare the predictive accuracy of the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) and the amniotic-umbilical-to-cerebral ratio (AUCR) for composite adverse perinatal outcomes among women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
