In the last decades, two screening strategies have been proposed to early identify patients at high risk for these complications. In the 80s, screening with uterine artery Doppler in the second trimester (18-24 weeks, S2) was described. More recently, it has been proposed to conduct a combined screening in the first trimester (11-13 weeks, S1), using maternal characteristics, mean arterial pressure, uterine artery Doppler and PAPP-A. Several groups have published results of these two methods separately, but there are fewer reports evaluating the combined performance of sequential screening in a low risk population. Methods: S1 was performed in 952 patients between 11 and 13 weeks and were scheduled to return for S2 in second trimester. Eleven patients had a spontaneous abortion and 295 pati...
