Purpose To assess the effectiveness of half peak systolic velocity deceleration time (hPSV-DT) in predicting neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with preeclampsia and to compare its usefulness with the conventional umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI) approach. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted among pregnant women with preeclampsia who were admitted to the Department of Perinatology, Ministry of Health Ankara City Hospital between 01 September 2022 and 01 January 2023 at 28–41 weeks gestational age. 55 patients were divided into two groups: the study group with UA hPSV-DT value
