Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of the soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1)/placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio in predicting preeclampsia (PE) within 4 weeks in twin pregnancies.Methods: Seventy-eight women with serum angiogenic markers measured at 28 + 0 to 30 + 6 weeks of gestation were enrolled. A receiver-operating characteristic curve was used to determine the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio threshold to predict PE.Results: A cutoff value for the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio of 22.2 predicted PE presence within 4 weeks.Conclusion: An sFlt-1/PlGF ratio of ≤22.2 is potentially indicative of PE absence within 4 weeks in twin pregnancies.
期刊介绍:
Hypertension in Pregnancy is a refereed journal in the English language which publishes data pertaining to human and animal hypertension during gestation. Contributions concerning physiology of circulatory control, pathophysiology, methodology, therapy or any other material relevant to the relationship between elevated blood pressure and pregnancy are acceptable. Published material includes original articles, clinical trials, solicited and unsolicited reviews, editorials, letters, and other material deemed pertinent by the editors.
