Abstract
Umbilical Cord Coiling Index in Women of South-Eastern Nigeria
Abnormal Umbilical Cord Coiling Index (UCI) is associated with adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. This study was therefore conceptualized to determine the UCI values of parturients, and to identify the clinicodemographic variables and associated pregnancy outcomes in those at risk of having an abnormal UCI, as it is believed that this will help identify relevant interventions that will improve pregnancy and perinatal outcomes.
