The umbilical coiling index was measured by ultrasound, following the patients who were hospitalized for delivery.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> There were statistically significant differences between the groups regarding to umbilical artery pulsatility index, gestational age at delivery and birth weight of the newborn. The need for a cesarean section because of non-reassuring fetal condition was statistically significantly higher in the fetal growth restriction group. The mean antenatal umbilical coiling index in fetal growth restriction and control patients was 0.29±0.08 and 0.27±0.08, respectively and the difference was not statistically significant.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> There was no statistically significant difference between the patients diagnosed with and without fetal growth restriction who delivered after the 37<sup>th</sup> gestational week, regarding the umbilical coiling index and perinatal outcomes, except umbilical artery pulsatility index, gestational age at birth and birth weight of the newborn.</p> ER -
