Effects of maternal characteristics and medical history on first trimester biomarkers for preeclampsia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify and quantify the effects of maternal characteristics and medical history on the distribution of Placental Growth Factor (PlGF), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and Uterine Artery Mean Pulsatility Index (UtA-PI); and to standardize the expected values for these biomarkers in the first trimester to create unique multiples of the median (MoMs) for Latin-American population.

Methods

This is a prospective cohort built exclusively for research purposes of consecutive pregnant women attending their first-trimester screening ultrasound at a primary care center for the general population in Mexico City between April 2019 and October 2021. We excluded fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities, major fetal malformations, and women delivering in another care center. Lin
