Diastolic Deceleration Area in Early-onset SGR
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
DDA is a new Doppler parameter aiming to assess fetal well-being in-utero. Early-onset SGR is a specific subgroup of fetuses where the clinical application of this Doppler modality could play an important role in the detection of hypoxia, anemia, and brain-sparing.
