Does reference range for uterine artery mean pulsatility index at 11-41 weeks of gestation?
The mean UtA-PI shows a progressive decrease until the late stages of pregnancy. Reference ranges for mean UtA-PI may have clinical value in screening for placenta-associated diseases in the early stages of pregnancy, and in evaluating patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension and/or small-for-gestational age fetuses during the third trimester.
These data support further research into the use of this strategy as an alternative approach to leukemia-derived DC vaccination.
