Reference ranges for uterine artery mean pulsatility index at 11–41 weeks of gestation

To construct gestational age (GA)‐based reference ranges for the uterine artery (UtA) mean pulsatility index (PI) at 11–41 weeks of pregnancy.

Neurodevelopmental outcome in 2‐year‐old infants who were small‐for‐gestational age term fetuses with cerebral blood flow redistribution

To assess the neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years of age of children who had been small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) term babies with cerebral blood flow redistribution.

Uterine artery Doppler at 11–14 weeks of gestation to screen for hypertensive disorders and associated complications in an unselected population

To establish reference values for the first‐trimester uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) and to investigate the role of UtA Doppler in the early prediction of hypertensive disorders and their associated complications in an unselected Mediterranean population.

Longitudinal changes in uterine, umbilical and fetal cerebral Doppler indices in late‐onset small‐for‐gestational age fetuses

To determine the longitudinal trends and rates of conversion of normal to abnormal uterine (UtA), umbilical (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler velocimetry throughout the third trimester in late‐onset small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) fetuses.

Sequential changes in uterine artery blood flow pattern between the first and second trimesters of gestation in relation to pregnancy outcome.

To describe sequential changes in uterine artery waveform between the first and second trimesters of gestation and to analyze their association with the subsequent risk of hypertensive disorders and fetal growth restriction (IUGR).

Predictiveness of antenatal umbilical artery Doppler for adverse pregnancy outcome in small-for-gestational-age babies according to customised birthweight centiles: population-based study

Objective  To examine the relationship between smallness at birth and the predictive value of umbilical artery Doppler.

Estimated weight centile as a predictor of perinatal outcome in small‐for‐gestational‐age pregnancies with normal fetal and maternal Doppler indices

To evaluate the risk of adverse perinatal outcome according to estimated fetal weight (EFW) in a cohort of term small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) pregnancies with normal umbilical, fetal middle cerebral and maternal uterine artery Doppler indices.

Neurobehavioral outcomes in preterm, growth‐restricted infants with and without prenatal advanced signs of brain‐sparing

To evaluate the neurobehavioral outcomes of preterm infants with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), with and without prenatal advanced brain‐sparing.

Doppler assessment of the aortic isthmus and perinatal outcome in preterm fetuses with severe intrauterine growth restriction

To evaluate the characteristics and association with perinatal outcome of the aortic isthmus (AoI) circulation as assessed by Doppler imaging in preterm growth‐restricted fetuses with placental insufficiency.

Monitoring of fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction : longitudinal changes in ductus venosus and aortic isthmus flow

To explore in growth‐restricted fetuses the sequence of changes in aortic isthmus and ductus venosus blood flow in relation to other arterial Doppler parameters commonly used to evaluate fetal wellbeing.
