These data suggest that raised umbilical artery pulsatility index in an appropriately grown fetus at 28 + 0 to 33 + 6 weeks' gestation is associated with subsequent development of growth restriction markers and an increased risk of moderate and severe small-for-gestational-age at birth. This is independent of the estimated weight of these babies at the index scan.
