Ophthalmic artery Doppler in combination with other biomarkers in prediction of pre‐eclampsia at 35–37 weeks' gestation

ABSTRACT Objective To examine the potential value of maternal ophthalmic artery Doppler at 35–37 weeks' gestation in combination with the established biomarkers of pre‐eclampsia (PE), including mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA‐PI), serum placental growth facto...

Summary:ABSTRACT Objective To examine the potential value of maternal ophthalmic artery Doppler at 35–37 weeks' gestation in combination with the established biomarkers of pre‐eclampsia (PE), including mean arterial pressure (MAP), uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA‐PI), serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and serum soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase‐1 (sFlt‐1), in the prediction of subsequent development of PE. Methods This was a prospective observational study in women attending for a routine hospital visit at 35 + 0 to 36 + 6 weeks' gestation. This visit included recording of maternal demographic characteristics and medical history, ultrasound examination for fetal anatomy and growth, assessment of flow velocity waveforms from the maternal ophthalmic arteries, and measurement of MAP, UtA‐PI, serum PlGF and serum sFlt‐1. The competing‐risks model was used to estimate the individual patient‐specific risks of delivery with PE at any time and at
