Results: 100 women were recruited. The variability of the Intra-observer MCI PI versus UA PI and the MCA PSV is shown in figure 1. The Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was determined and ”best” ICC was found in the MCA measurement (K=0.888) versus a ”good” ICC found in the UA measurement (K=0.755). A statistically significant decrease was found in the MCA PI measurements during the interval close to term (37-42 weeks gestation), and between the group of women assessed before 40+0 weeks (n=26) and the group of women assessed between 40+0 to 42+0 weeks gestation (n=76). There was no statistically significant difference in the MCA PSV and UA PI during the interval close to term. A similar difference was found. Conclusions: MCA PI measured at the interval close to term is highly reliable and superior to the UA PI measurement near term. The MCA PI significantly decreases in the weeks close to term.
