OBJECTIVE: To determine the association of first-trimester uterine artery Doppler with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in twin pregnancies.
METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies followed at the University Hospital Center of Central Lisbon, Portugal, between January 2010 and December 2022. First-trimester uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) was determined and compared between twin pregnancies (n = 454) and singleton pregnancies (n = 908), matched to maternal and pregnancy characteristics. Maternal characteristics and mean UtA-PI were analyzed for gestational age, birth weight, gestational hypertension, early- and late-onset pre-eclampsia, HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) syndrome, and preterm birth. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used.
RESULTS: The mean first-trimester UtA-PI was significantly lower in dichorionic twins than in singletons (P < 0.001). To study hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in twins, 390 pregnancies were included: 311 (79.7%) dichorionic and 79 (20.3%) monochorionic twins. The observed rates of early- and late-onset pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and HELLP syndrome were 1.0%, 4.4%, 7.4%, and 1.5%, respectively. We achieved a 100% detection rate for early-onset pre-eclampsia using the UtA-PI 90th centile for twins. However, when singleton references were considered, the detection rate decreased to 50%. UtA-PI at or above the 95th centile was associated with increased odds for preterm birth before 32 weeks (adjusted odds ratio 4.1, 95% confidence interval 1.0-16.7, P = 0.043).
CONCLUSIONS: Unless other major risk factors for hypertensive disorders are present, women with low UtA-PI will probably not benefit from aspirin prophylaxis. Close monitoring of all twin pregnancies for hypertensive disorders is still recommended.
