Objectives (1) To develop a risk score for early-onset pre-eclampsia leading to delivery within one week from repeated marker determinations on pregnancies with an sFlt-1/PlGF ratio above 38, and (2) to compare it (i) with sFlt-1/PlGF ratio model and (ii) with the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio 655 cutoff. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Oviedo, Spain. Sample 522 blood samples from 363 singleton pregnancies with clinical suspicion of pre-eclampsia between 27 and 34 weeks of gestation. Methods NT-proBNP, sFlt-1 and PlGF were combined using linear mixed models with random intercept based on 213 samples from 123 pregnancies with an sFlt-1/PlGF ratio above 38. Main outcome measures Early-onset pre-eclampsia diagnosis leading to delivery within one week from assessment. Results None of the 253 pregnancies with an sFlt-1/PlGF ratio of 38 or below developed early-onset pre-eclampsia. The prognostic prediction tool included sFlt-1 MoM, NT-proBNP and gestational age at time (GA) of repeated measurements. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for early-onset pre-eclampsia diagnosis leading to delivery within one week was 88.247 (95% CI 0.822-0.934) for the prediction tool and 82.639 (95% CI 0.752-0.892) for the sFlt-1/PlGF + GA model (P=0.04). At an sFlt-1/PlGF ratio 655 cutoff the detection ratio was 31.9% (19.1-47.1) with false positive rate of 4.2% (1.7-8.5). With the same false positive rate, the detection rate with the prognostic prediction tool was 53.2% (38.1-67.9) (P=0.03). Conclusions A prediction tool derived from NT-proBNP, sFlt-1 MoM and gestational age linear mixed model provided clinically useful prediction of early-onset pre-eclampsia prognosis when clinically suspected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
