Overview

Preeclampsia is the main cause of illness and death in pregnant women and fetuses. Currently, there is no effective treatment for preeclampsia in clinical practice, and the fundamental treatment is still termination of pregnancy and placental delivery.

Therefore, early prediction of preeclampsia and targeted strengthening of high-risk pregnant women supervision, early intervention and diagnosis and treatment can greatly reduce the serious obstetric complications and perinatal maternal and fetal deaths caused by preeclampsia, which has significant social and clinical significance.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a risk assessment and management plan for preeclampsia based on placental growth factor (PlGF) detection in the real medical world on the incidence of preeclampsia, maternal mortality rate, and severe complications of preeclampsia, and to establish appropriate preeclampsia risk screening and prevention standards and guidelines for the Chinese population, in order to reduce the probability of maternal and fetal mortality and long-term chronic diseases.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ≥18 years old
  • Pregnant women whose risk of preeclampsia is assessed based on maternal factors + mean arterial pressure (MAP) + placental growth factor (PlGF) ± uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) at 11-13 weeks of pregnancy or who use PlGF or sFlt-1/PlGF to predict the risk of preeclampsia after 20 weeks of pregnancy
  • Single pregnancy and fetal survival
  • Agree to participate and sign the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe fetal malformation or abnormality (no fetal heartbeat)
  • Those with severe mental disorders and unable to express their wishes
  • There are other obvious abnormal signs, laboratory tests or other clinical diseases, and the researcher determines that they are not suitable to participate in the study
  • Those who cannot obtain follow-up and delivery information
