| Popis: | Aim To determine the effectiveness of the first trimester Samrakshan protocol for the identification of pregnant women at high risk for preterm pre-eclampsia (PE). Methods Samrakshan uses a protocol that integrates routine first-trimester ultrasound assessment at 11 to 14 gestation weeks with the measurement of mean arterial blood pressure and mean uterine artery pulsatility index assessment to determine a customized risk for preterm PE and fetal growth restriction. Based on the risk assessment, pregnant women are classified as high or low risk. Results The protocol had a high specificity (90.4%, 95% CI: 89.4%, 91.2%) and negative predictive value (98.1%, 95% CI: 97.6%, 99%) for preterm PE. The odds ratio and positive likelihood ratio for preterm PE were 16.7 (95% CI: 12.3, 22.6) and 6.64 (95% CI: 5.77, 7.63), respectively. Conclusions The positive likelihood ratio and odds ratios indicate that pregnant women identified as high risk for preterm PE using the first-trimester protocol of Samrakshan are significantly more likely to develop preterm PE than low-risk women. |
