Abstract We aimed to evaluate perinatal outcomes and blood gas indices of isolated single umbilical artery (SUA). In this retrospective study, 134 fetuses with SUA were evaluated. A total 77 (57.4%) (iSUA) compared maternal age-matched 95 double arteries (DUA), respect pregnancy outcome cord indices. The incidence in our cohort was 1.04%. Patients iSUA had lower neonatal birth weight the control group (2,635 ± 972 g vs 2,991 669 g; p = 0.009). Small for gestational age (SGA) frequency higher...
