AB  - OBJECTIVE: Demonstration of the predictive capacity of Doppler Uterine Artery 
      (UtA) on preterm birth (PB) by serial measurement at various ages of pregnancy. 
      METHODS: The prospective study included a group of 116 pregnant women, of whom 85 
      gave birth prematurely and 31 pregnant women gave birth at term, constituting the 
      control group. UtA Doppler measurement was performed by the abdominal approach. 
      Quantitative wave evaluations were performed by the pulsatility index (PI), the 
      systole/diastole ratio (S/D), as well as the qualitative analysis of the flow 
      rate waveform (notch). UtA Doppler evaluation was performed in 3 pregnancy 
      periods: 18.0-22.6 weeks, 28.0-31.6 weeks, and 32.0-35.6 weeks. RESULTS: Only at 
      the third examination, at 32.0-35.5 weeks of gestation, was there a statistically 
      significant difference between the S/D-UtA ratio and PI-UtA correlated with the 
      risk of premature birth (p<0.05). Although there was an association between UtA 
      Doppler and late preterm birth, the predictive ability was low. Also, UtA Doppler 
      was not statistically significant for preterm birth before 32 weeks of gestation. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Although we did not find a statistical association between 
      second-trimester UtA Doppler and preterm birth, we do suggest a closer look at 
      women with abnormal UtA Doppler in the second trimester. We believe that, 
      according to the results obtained, UtA Doppler can predict especially iatrogenic 
      premature birth depending on the prediction of the most severe complications, 
      severe preeclampsia, and SGA.
