This novel transverse approach for the measurement of UtA-PI in the first trimester appears to be comparable with the sagittal approach in terms of reliability, reproducibility and time required, and may be easier to perform. Providing accelerated onsite training can be helpful for improving the reliability of UtA-PI measurements and could potentially facilitate the broad implementation of first-trimester pre-eclampsia screening.
