| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Placental thickness (PT) is the simplest placental dimension to assess, till now a small number have information concerned the “normal” placental thickness as assessed by second‐trimester sonography. Objectives: was to find out the correlation between placental thickness assessment in 2nd trimester (13-26 wks) and perinatal outcome. Patients and methods: This study was a prospective cohort one demonstrated out Qena University Hospital in the duration between April 2018 till April 2019. Results: A highly statistical significant (p-value < 0.001) difference of AFI according to placental thickness. A highly statistical significant (p-value < 0.001) difference of NICU need according to placental thickness, A highly statistical significant (p-value < 0.001) difference of Apgar score according to placental thickness, and A highly statistical significant (p-value < 0.001) difference of (fetal distress, fetal malformation, meconium stained & IUFD) according to placental thickness. Conclusion: In this study, a significant association was found among PT and neonatal outcomes regarding neonatal weight, APGAR scoring and the necessity of NICU, meconium stained fluid, and perinatal complications regarding oligohydraminos, congenital malformations and sudden IUFD. | ||||
