Abstract
statistically significant correlation between maternal serum PAPP-A, free β-hCG and uterine artery resistance indices. Conclusions: The present study demonstrates a positive correlation between first trimester uterine artery resistance, pulsatility indices and second trimester MSAFP. Uterine artery Doppler measurement during the first trimester prenatal sonography may be a prognostic screening method. The potential application of first trimester uterine artery blood flow in conjunction with maternal biochemistry such as MSAFP for prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes will be further evaluated with increasing number of patients in the current study.
