Screening for pre‐eclampsia and small for gestational age fetuses at the 11–14 weeks scan by uterine artery Dopplers

Abstract

Abnormal uterine Dopplers at 11-14 weeks identified one-third of women with severe early onset pre-eclampsia, all fetuses with SGA<or=5th centile that were delivered at<or=34 weeks, and 40% of cases with placental abruption. Uterine artery Doppler examination at the 11-14 weeks scan can identify a high risk population in which preventive or therapeutic interventions might be effective.
