The etiology and pathophysiology of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remains enigmatic, and till date, no test can accurately predict it. Early screening may allow vigilant antenatal surveillance, timely delivery and thus substantially reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Our study aims to evaluate the predictive value of uterine artery mean pulsatility index (PI) at 11-14 weeks and find a reference value for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
