INTRODUCTION: To investigate uterine artery Doppler findings and maternal homocysteine levels in relation with of adverse pregnancy outcomes during the second trimester of pregnancy.METHODS: A prospective case-control study was performed with 185 healthy pregnant women. Uterine artery Doppler velocimetry was performed between 20 and 24 weeks of gestation. Maternal serum homocysteine concentrations were measured. Doppler results and homocysteine levels were used in prediction of adverse pregnancy outcome.RESULTS: According to the uterine artery Doppler findings pregnant women were divided into two groups. The first group composed of women with bilateral diastolic notches (case group, n=85), the second group composed of the women with unilateral notches, and the women with no diastolic notch (control group, n=88) formed the third group.
