Discussion

Cross-sectional study compares pulsatility index and notching in 220 women, indicating strong predictive value for preeclampsia.

The pulsatility index of the uterine artery showed a sensitivity of 87.50% and specificity of 98.94%.
Notching had lower sensitivity of 46.88% and specificity of 87.23%, indicating limited utility compared to the pulsatility index.
Preeclampsia was significantly associated with factors like blood pressure and history of preeclampsia among the cohort.
Overall, the pulsatility index proved to be a valuable tool for diagnosing severe preeclampsia.

Utomo et al. (2025) studied this question.
