Popis: Objective To assess the effect of uncomplicated diabetes on umbilical artery flow velocity waveforms (FVWs); to investigate the relation between glycaemic control and FVWs and the predictive value of umbilical artery FVWs for antenatal fetal compromise. Design Prospective descriptive study. Setting A large diabetic pregnancy clinic in a teaching hospital. Subjects 128 pregnancies complicated by diabetes mellitus. 170 non diabetic women with no pre-existing or pregnancy complications. Interventions In diabetic pregnancies, umbilical artery resistance index (RI) Doppler recordings and glycosylated haemoglobin were measured every 2 weeks from 28 weeks. Main outcome measures Umbilical artery RI and antenatal fetal compromise defined as a non reactive, decelerative cardiotocograph and/or a biophysical profile score persistently
