ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the performance of screening for
pre-eclampsia by uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) at
11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks’ gestation and the change in
uterine artery PI between 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 and 21 + 0 to
24 + 6 weeks.
Methods In 3107 singleton pregnancies attending for
routine care at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 and 21 + 0 to 24 +
6 weeks’ gestation we recorded maternal characteristics
and medical and obstetric history, and measured uterine
artery PI.
