Mean arterial pressure for predicting preeclampsia in Asian women: a longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies suggested mean arterial pressure (MAP) had moderate predictive values in the first and second trimesters for the prediction of preeclampsia. However, the performance of MAP in Asian women is still unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the predictive values of MAP in Asian population throughout gestation, and to compare the performance of MAP, angiogenic factors and uterine artery Doppler in the prediction of preeclampsia.

Design

A prospective cohort study.

Setting

KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore.

Participants

A total of 926 women with singleton pregnancy less than 14 weeks of gestation were included in the prospective Neonatal and Obstetrics Risks Assessment cohort between September 2010 and October 2014. M
