Abstract

Studies have shown the utility of the uterine artery (UtA) doppler in the prediction of placental disorders in pregnancy, mainly hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) and fetal growth restriction. The most studied parameters are the pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), or presence of a diastolic notch (DN). While PI and RI are quantitative measures, attempts to quantify the DN for prediction of HDP are limited. We aimed to quantify the DN in an attempt to improve the prediction of placental disorders.
