ObjectiveTo define the contribution of maternal variables that influence the measured uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) in screening for pregnancy complications. MethodsMaternal characteristics and medical history were recorded, and UtA-PI was measured, in women with a singleton pregnancy attending for three routine hospital visits at 11+0 to 13+6weeks, 19+0 to 24+6weeks and 30+0 to 34+6weeks or 35+0 to 37+6weeks' gestation. For pregnancies delivering phenotypically normal live births or stillbirths at 24weeks' gestation, variables from maternal demographic characteristics and medical history that are important in the prediction of UtA-PI were determined from linear mixed-effects multiple regression. ResultsUtA-PI was measured in 90484 cases in the first trimester, 66862 cases in the second trimester and 33470 cases in the third trimester of pregnancy. Significant independent contributions to UtA-PI were provided by gestational age, maternal age, weight, racial origin and a history of pre-eclampsia (PE) in the previous pregnancy. Random-effects multiple regression analysis was used to define the contribution of maternal variables that influence the measured UtA-PI and express the values as multiples of the median (MoM). The model was shown to provide an adequate fit of MoM values for all covariates both in pregnancies that developed PE and in those that did not. ConclusionsA model was fitted to express the measured UtA-PI as MoMs after adjustment for variables from maternal characteristics and medical history that affect this measurement.
