ABSTRACT
Placenta-mediated pregnancy disorders represent a disease that includes preeclampsia (PE) and the birth of small for gestational age (SGA) children, these conditions increase the risk of mortality and morbidity both maternal and fetal/neonatal, in the short and long-term. METHODS:
The prospective study included 106 patients in whom ultrasound Doppler scans of uterine artery (UtA) were performed in the 2nd trimester between 20.0-23.6 weeks of gestation and the 3rd trimester between 28.0-32.6 weeks of gestation.RESULTS:
In the second trimester, the average of the UtA-PI percentiles was statistically significant (p<0.05) in correlation with PE and SGA, as in the third trimester. Statistically significant (p<0.05) was also the correlation of UtA-PI >95 percentile with the development of PE and SGA. On the other hand, the present notch, in the two trimesters studied, analyzed as a single index, did not present a statistically significant association (p>0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
The results of our study showed that UtA-PI Doppler is the best predictor of preeclampsia considering the association of intrauterine growth restriction, as most studies have found.
