Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intra- and inter-observer agreement of the measurement of the indices of placental vascularization (primary). The indices measured are the following: oPreconception uterine vascular bed: - Volume of endometrial vasculature (VEV) - Total volume of vasculature (TVV) - Uterine artery (left and right) pulsatility and resistance oPlacental vascularization (in pregnancy): - Placental Bed vasculature Volume (PVBV) - Fetal vascular volume (FVV) - Total volume of vasculature (TVV) - Uterine artery (left and right) pulsatility and resistance indices | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The relationship between the indices of the uteroplacental vascular volumes: a) Maternal biomarkers (blood) b) (Pre)clinical outcomes (embryonic and fetal health, miscarriage, preeclampsia, gestational age at delivery, and birth weight) c) Maternal conditions and lifestyle (medication use, intoxications, infections, physical activity, working activities, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, nutrition, smoking, alcohol and folic acid supplement used). | — |
