Asociación entre índice de pulsatilidad elevado de arteria uterina medido por eco-doppler y desarrollo de preeclampsia en mujeres embarazadas Hospital Teodoro Maldonado durante el periodo enero 2016 a julio 2016.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:Due to the fact that there is no effective or accurate treatment for the disease, to identify women who are at risk of developing preeclampsia as much as posible would be very successful, and in the case can perform to a closer prenatal surveillance, and eventually provide time for timely delivery When the symptoms or signs of the disease are manifested. PATIENTS AND METHODS:The present study is a case-control and retrospective, observational and analytical study carried out at the Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo (HTMC) in the period from January 2016 to July 2016. The population studied was 120 pregnant womenof whom 80 had a normal pregnancy and 40 developed preeclampsia. RESULTS:Regarding age in the control group, a homogeneity was found between both groups with a p-value of p-value: 0.94 Regarding the pulsatility index in the control group, the mean value obtained was 1,039 and the median 1,045 y in the group of women with preeclampsia was 1,556 and the median was 1.48.y with a p-value: <0.000. CONCLUSIONS:Elevated pulsatility index values above ≥1.45 obtained by echo Doppler uterine artery measured in the second trimester of pregnancy are associated with the development of preeclampsia.
