Ophthalmic Artery Doppler as a Reliable Tool for Screening and Diagnosing Preeclampsia in a Rural South Indian Population
Abstract: Preeclampsia (PE), a hypertensive disorder manifesting after 20 weeks of gestation, poses significant risks to both maternal and fetal health. This prospective case - control study, conducted from January to September 2023, aimed to evaluate the predictive potential of ophthalmic artery Doppler waveform analysis for PE outcomes. Thirty pre - eclamptic cases and 30 matched pregnant controls were included, with Doppler parameters recorded using a GE Voluson S8 Ultrasound machine. The study found that various Doppler parameters, including mean peak systolic velocity, pulsatility index, resistivity index, and peak ratio, significantly differed between pre - eclamptic cases and controls (p - value
