Adverse perinatal outcomes are strongly associated with degree of abnormality in uterine artery Doppler pulsatility index

CONCLUSIONS: An elevated UtA-PI is a key predictor of iatrogenic preterm birth, severe SGA and perinatal loss up to 34+0 weeks. It is the 90th centile that should be used, and management should be further tailored to the degree of abnormality, as pregnancies with very raised UtA-PI measurements constitute a group at extreme risk.
