Prediction of Adverse Maternal Outcomes in Preeclampsia Using a Risk Prediction Model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study was conducted to evaluate how the preeclampsia integrated estimate of risk (fullPIERS) model performs in the prediction of adverse maternal outcomes when the predictor variables are all obtained within 24-h of admission for preeclampsia.

Methods

A prospective cohort study on 323 women who fulfilled definite inclusion and exclusion criteria was conducted. Subjects were monitored for clinical symptoms of preeclampsia, biochemical parameters, and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. A risk prediction score was calculated using the fullPIERS calculator. Statistical analysis of rates and ratios was carried out by assessing χ (2) test and odds ratio.

Results

18.3 % (n = 60) had adverse maternal outcome and 42.8 % (n = 138) had adverse fetal outcome,
