Among the 9 available models designed for the occurrence of diastolic notch in the curve for uterine artery flow, the occurrences of bilateral notches in uterine arteries during first and second trimester were compared to the bilateral notches which were unidentified among the pregnant women. The result shows that the risk for pre-eclampsia was 4.7 times higher (OR 4.7, p=0.011) (adjusted to age, body mass index, nulliparous and multiparous) for the occurrences of bilateral notches in uterine artery flow. Conclusions: The study reveals that the uterine artery Doppler examination is effective for assessing the risk for pre-eclampsia during the second trimester of gestation when the diastolic notch is identified in the uterine artery flow.
