Sensitivity of higher, lower and mean second‐trimester uterine artery Doppler resistance indices in screening for pre‐eclampsia
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: First-trimester Doppler studies have reported that the lower uterine artery (UtA) resistance index (RI) is better for the prediction of pre-eclampsia (PE) than is either the mean or higher indices. The aim of this study was to determine if this relationship is true in the second trimester.
METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 24 859 singleton pregnancies. During the study period second-trimester UtA Doppler assessment was …
