Abstract
The study randomly selected 70 diabetic pregnant women at 37-40 weeks AOG who was admitted and delivered at De La Salle University Medical Center. These pregnant women have undergone doppler velocimetry and the results were recorded. The prevalence of adverse perinatal outcome in terms of the following: primary operative delivery via CS for fetal distress, 5-minute APGAR score of less than 7, small for gestational age and NICU admission for more than 3 days were determined. GDM was the most common type of DM(61%). The most prevalent adverse prenatal outcome is primary CS for fetal distress with SGA (14.29%) as observed in the abnormal uterine artery doppler velocimetry result. It is followed by primary CS for fetal distress in abnormal uterine artery doppler velocimetry with a prevalence of 9%. There are no reported cases of combination of 3 adverse outcomes. Placental hypoperfusion from the umbilical and uterine arterial end during the elevation of blood sugar is the main reason of the adverse perinatal outcome.
