Abstract

The uterine artery wave in the first trimester of pregnancy has a diastolic notch that disappears after 24 weeks of pregnancy. If the picture of this curve persists and the PI and RI values remain high, it means high pressure on the uterine arteries which usually results in preeclampsia. This is a case-control study conducted from March to November 2018 at several hospitals and private clinics in Medan, Indonesia. A total of 70 normal pregnant women within 22-24 weeks gestational age were enrolled and each 35 was grouped into (A) patients with uterine artery diastolic notch and (B) patients without uterine artery diastolic notch. From ultrasound examinations, 27 patients (38.6%) had unilateral uterine artery diastolic notch, and 8 subjects (11.4%) had bilateral uterine artery diastolic notch. Five subjects (14.3%) had early onset preeclampsia, with no significant difference between uterine artery diastolic notch with early-onset preeclampsia. No significant differences were seen in average uterine artery pulsatility index between subjects with and without early-onset preeclampsia, and between the presence of uterine artery diastolic notch and the incidence of early-onset preeclampsia. However, a significant difference was seen between the pulsatile value of the urine artery index and the incidence of early-onset preeclampsia (P=0.045).
