To study the role of uterine artery Doppler pulsatility index (UtA-PI), serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and free beta human chorionic gonadotropin (f β -hCG) levels, individually and in combination with each other, at 11-14 weeks of gestation for prediction of preeclampsia (PE).
