About this study

This Cross_ sectional study will be performed At OBS/ GYN Department Sohag University Hospital for 1 year duration between February 2025 to February 2026.

All cases of pregnant women diagnosed with anemia at 3rd trimester will have baseline assessment of history, clinical examination, HB level, obstetric ultrasonography done then they will have Middle Cerebral Artery Doppler done to assess correlation between MCA Doppler indices & neonatal outcomes. Then appropriate treatment of anemia will be taken.
