The objective of this cross-sectional study was to construct new reference ranges for Doppler flow velocity waveform resistance indices for the fetal umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, placental and non-placental uterine arteries and the placentocerebral ratio in a large and minimally selected population attending a single clinic. Study design and data analysis adhered to a number of stringent and validated methodological recommendations derived both from the recent literature and from a review of earlier publications in this field. The final database comprised initial routine Doppler velocimetry at 24-42 weeks' gestation in 1675 pregnancies. Separate regression models were fitted to estimate the mean and standard deviation at each gestational age for each vessel. New charts, centile tables and regression equations are presented for the resistance indices of the fetal umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, placental and non-placental uterine arteries and the mean of both uterine arteries and for the placentocerebral ratio.
