Pregnancy-specific beta-1-glycoprotein (PSG-1) is a protein that plays a critical role in fetomaternal immune modulation and has been shown to be closely associated with pregnancy adverse events such as preeclampsia. It is also known that PSG-1 and its source placenta are associated with many molecular pathways associated with blood pressure regulation. In addition, the nondipping pattern (NDP) of chronic hypertension has been shown to be an independent risk factor for preeclampsia. Dipper individuals experience a notable nighttime drop in blood pressure, typically around 10% or more compared to daytime levels, while nondipper individuals show a smaller nighttime blood pressure decrease, indicating potential circadian blood pressure regulation disruption. In this context, we aimed to reveal the relationship between PSG-1, NDP and preeclampsia in this study. A total of 304 pregnant women who were newly diagnosed in the first trimester and started on antihypertensive medication were included in this study. All subjects performed 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring twice throughout pregnancy, the first in the 1. trimester to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension and the second between 20<sup>+0</sup> and 21<sup>+1</sup> gestational weeks to determine the dipper-nondipper status of hypertension. Subjects were grouped as dipper and nondipper according to blood pressure, and groups were compared in terms of PSG-1 levels.

The data of 640 consecutive patients hospitalized for New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2-3-4 AHF with reduced ejection fraction were analyzed and 565 patients were included after exclusion. The primary outcome was in hospital all-cause death. Secondary outcomes were defined as the following in-hospital events: Acute kidney injury (AKI), malignant arrhythmias, acute renal failure (ARF) and stroke. The PIV was computed using hemogram parameters such as lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes and platelets. Patients were categorized as low or high PIV group according to the median value, which was 382.8. A total of 81 (14.3%) in-hospital deaths, 31 (5.4%) AKI, 34 (6%) malignant arrhythmias, 60 (10.6%) ARF and 11 (2%) strokes were reported. Patients with high PIV had a higher in-hospital mortality rate than patients with low PIV (OR: 1.51, 95% CI, 1.26-1.80, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Incorporating PIV into the full model significantly improved model performance (odds ratio X<sup>2</sup>, <i>p</i> < 0.001) compared to the baseline model constructed with other inflammatory markers. PIV is a potent predictor of prognosis with better performance than other well-known inflammatory markers for patients with AHF.</p>","PeriodicalId":21474,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"371-378"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10126301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
