Redistribution of cerebral blood flow at term is significantly associated with SGA, IOL for oligohydramnios and CS for NRFS in labor. However, the predictive accuracy of Doppler at term is only poor to moderate, thus advising against its use in clinical practice as a standalone screening test for adverse perinatal outcome in pregnancies at term. Key Message Redistribution of cerebral blood flow at term is significantly associated with SGA, IOL for oligohydramnios and CS for NRFS in labor.
