Implication

Randomized trial evaluates uterine artery Doppler for predicting preeclampsia and IUGR in pregnant women, indicating early intervention potential.

Key Points

This study evaluates the effectiveness of uterine artery Doppler indices in predicting preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction during early pregnancy.
Included 480 pregnant women between 14-22 weeks of gestation.
Performed uterine artery Doppler measurements including pulsatility index and resistance index.
Calculated sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of Doppler indices for preeclampsia and IUGR.
Preeclampsia was observed in 6.9% (n = 33) of participants; IUGR in 5% (n = 24).
Preeclamptic women had higher uterine artery PI (1.0 ± 0.15) and RI (0.75 ± 0.07) compared to normotensive women (p < 0.001).
Sensitivity of uterine artery PI for predicting preeclampsia was 52%, specificity was 83.3%; sensitivity and specificity of notching for IUGR were 58.3% and 90% respectively.
