Second trimester uterine artery doppler to predict preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction data collection proforma

Background: Uterine Artery Doppler Velocimetry (UADV) has proven to be efficient in predicting the development of preeclampsia and IUGR (4). Methods: We prospectively studied 128 women to detect the frequency of the development of pre-eclampsia and IUGR in relation to abnormal UADV. The main outcome measures with RI, PI and the presence of notching. Results: The mean difference of 0.082 (± 0.011; 95% CI: -0.096, -0.069) in the RI and 0.122 (± 0.011; 95% CI: -0.144, -0.100) in the PI between those without preeclampsia and those with, was statistically significant (p<0.001). The mean RI that had a better prognostic value than the mean PI (OR: 2.623E+51 [95% CI: 2.577E+25, 2.671E+77]; p<0.001. Notching showed a statistically significant very strong relationship with the development of IUGR. Conclusion: The best predictor of preeclampsia was the RI indices while end diastolic notching was the best predictor for IUGR.
