Prediction in the first trimester and prevention with aspirin can help to reduce complications.&#13;
Objective: To find out the ability of uterine artery pulsatility index along with mean arterial pressure (MAP) and body mass index (BMI) for prediction of pregnancy-induced hypertension.&#13;
Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted in the Institute of Medical Sciences __ampersandsignamp; SUM Hospital. 200 low-risk pregnant women included at 11-14 weeks of gestation to calculate MAP, BMI. Uterine artery doppler of both arteries are performed during the Nuchal Translucency scan. The average uterine artery pulsatility index was calculated.&#13;
Result: 7/200 (3.5%) population developed Pregnancy Induced Hypertension( PIH). Mean Arterial Pressure was significantly higher in early-onset Pre-eclampsia (86.65 __ampersandsignplusmn; 3.86) in comparison to normal subjects (80.19 __ampersandsignplusmn; 7.37) with (p= 0.040).BMI was not significantly higher (22.50 __ampersandsignplusmn; 2.32) compared to normal subjects (22.32 __ampersandsignplusmn; 2.02) (p= 0.863). Uterine artery pulsatility index was significantly higher in early-onset pre-eclampsia(p__ampersandsignlt;0.001), late-onset Pre-eclampsia (p= 0.001) and pre-eclampsia(p = __ampersandsignlt;0.001 inclusive of early and late).Body mass index and mean arterial pressure were not significantly different for the prediction of late-onset pre-eclampsia with a p-value of 0.846 and 0.960 respectively. Keeping 95th centile as cutoff (2.5), the detection rate of pre-eclampsia with uterine artery pulsatility index is 71.4% with p __ampersandsignlt;0.001.&#13;
Conclusion: Combination of uterine artery doppler along with MAP and BMI calculation can effectively screen women at risk of PIH, more so for early-onset PIH before 34 weeks without any extra cost or burden on the health care system.&#13;
