Material and methods: Retrospective cohort study; 23 894 singleton pregnancies routinely scanned between 19 and 24 weeks’ gestation. Maternal characteristics included age, body mass index, ethnicity and medical history. Fetal biometry indices, birthweight and uterine artery pulsatility index values were converted to percentiles and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. The predictive accuracy was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves analysis. The main outcome was prediction of preterm and term stillbirths. Results: Non-Caucasian ethn...
