Abstract:
Aim: To measure umbilical coiling index postnatally and to analyze whether umbilical coiling index measurement could predict adverse perinatal outcome. Materials and methods: A study designed was a prospective observational study, enrolled total 100 singleton pregnancies, who were fulfilling inclusion criteria. The length of the cord was measured using a non-stretchable inch tape. The umbilical cord was measured in its entirety, including the length of the placental end of the cord and the umbilical stump on the baby. Various outcome measures like gestational age at birth, intrauterine growth retardation, birth weight, meconium staining, APGAR scores at 1 and 5 mins were observed. Statistical analysis was done and p<0.05 was considered as significant. Results: In present study, 79% had normocoiling while 11% had hypocoiling and 8% had hypercoiling of cord. Of these, 5% had preterm deliveries which was statistically significant (p = 0.04). Also, meconium-stained liquor was noted in 10% cases, among which 50% had abnormal coiling index. This was statistically significant (p = 0.008). Conclusion: Abnormal umbilical coiling index is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Hence measuring coiling index antenatally can help in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes resulting in closer fetal monitoring and improved fetal outcome.
