This study showed that UA, UtA PI and birth weight seem to be linked to QUtA. QUtA had an inverse correlation with UA and UtA PI. In addition, increasing the QUtA showed a linear increase in fetal birth weight. These findings could be helpful in high-risk pregnancy management, but additional research is needed to identify how QUtA in the third trimester impacts labour and fetal outcomes.
