Predicting delivery of a small-for-gestational-age infant and adverse perinatal outcome in women with suspected pre-eclampsia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the test performance of 47 biomarkers and ultrasound parameters for the prediction of delivery of a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant and adverse perinatal outcome in women presenting with suspected pre-eclampsia.

Methods

This was a prospective, multicenter observational study in which 47 biomarkers and ultrasound parameters were measured in 397 women with a singleton pregnancy presenting with suspected preterm pre-eclampsia between 20 + 0 and 36 + 6 weeks' gestation, with the objective of evaluating them as predictors of subsequent delivery of a SGA infant and adverse perinatal outcome. Women with confirmed pre-eclampsia at enrollment were excluded. Factor analysis and stepwise logistic regression were performed in two prespecified groups stratifi
