Contribution of the myocardial performance index and aortic isthmus blood flow index to predicting mortality in preterm growth‐restricted fetuses

To evaluate the predictive value for perinatal death of the myocardial performance index (MPI) and aortic isthmus flow index (IFI), as isolated parameters and in a combined model including currently used Doppler indices, in preterm growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses.
