The CPR and DV PI were converted into multiples of the median, and the estimated fetal weight into centiles according to local references. Adverse perinatal outcome was defined as a composite of abnormal cardiotocogram, intrapartum pH requiring cesarean delivery, 5\u2032 Apgar score &lt;7, neonatal pH &lt;7.10 and admission to neonatal intensive care unit. Values were plotted according to the interval to labor to evaluate progression of abnormal Doppler values, and their accuracy was evaluated at both gestational periods, alone and combined with clinical data, by means of univariable and multivariable models, using the Akaike information criteria (AIC) and the area under the curve (AUC).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Prior to 34\u2009weeks' gestation, DV PI was the latest parameter to become abnormal. However, it was a poor predictor of adverse perinatal outcome (AUC 0.56, 95% CI: 0.40\u20130.71, AIC 76.2, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05), and did not improve the predictive accuracy of CPR for adverse perinatal outcome (AUC 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79\u20130.97, AIC 52.9, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). After 34\u2009weeks' gestation, the chronology of the DV PI and CPR anomalies overlapped, but again DV PI was a poor predictor for adverse perinatal outcome (AUC 0.62, 95% CI: 0.49\u20130.74, AIC 120.6, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05), that did not improve the CPR ability to predict adverse perinatal outcome (AUC 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67\u20130.92, AIC 106.8, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). The predictive accuracy of CPR prior to 34\u2009weeks persisted when the gestational age at delivery was included in the model (AUC 0.91, 95% CI: 0.81\u20131.00, AIC 46.3, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001, vs AUC 0.86, 95% CI: 0.72\u20131, AIC 56.1, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), and therefore was not determined by prematurity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>CPR predicts adverse perinatal outcome better than DV PI, regardless of gestational age.
