Longitudinal fetal growth parameters in women at high risk for pre-eclampsia.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate longitudinal changes in fetal growth parameters, umbilical artery (UA) Doppler measurements and amniotic fluid index (AFI) in East Asian pregnant women who underwent screening for preterm pre-eclampsia (PE) in the first trimester, and to evaluate correlations of these variables with first-trimester biomarkers.

Methods

This was a prospective, longitudinal, nested case-control study of women with a singleton pregnancy who participated in the first-trimester screen-and-prevent program for preterm PE at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong SAR, China, between January 2020 and December 2023.
