INTRODUCTION: To investigate uterine artery Doppler findings and maternal homocysteine levels in relation with of adverse pregnancy outcomes during the second trimester of pregnancy.METHODS: A prospective case-control study was performed with 185 healthy pregnant women. Uterine artery Doppler velocimetry was performed between 20 and 24 weeks of gestation. Maternal serum homocysteine concentrations were measured. Doppler results and homocysteine levels were used in prediction of adverse pregnancy outcome.RESULTS: According to the uterine artery Doppler findings pregnant women were divided into two groups. The first group composed of women with bilateral diastolic notches (case group, n=85), the second group composed of the women with unilateral notches, and the women with no diastolic notch (control group, n=88) formed the third group. Pregnancy-induced hypertension (p
GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: İkinci trimesterde uterin arter Doppler bulguları ve maternal serum homosistein düzeyi ile kötü gebelik sonuçları arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: 185 gebe üzerinde yapılan prospektif olgu-kontrol çalışmasında 20-24. gebelik haftaları arasında uterin arter Doppler incelemesi yapıldı ve serum homosistein düzeyi ölçüldü.BULGULAR: Gebeler uterin arter Doppler bulgularına göre bilateral erken diyastolik çentiklenmesi olanlar olgu grubu (n=97); çentik bulunmayan veya unilateral çentiklenmesi olan olgular kontrol grubu (n=88) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Gebeliğe bağlı hipertansiyon (p
