Popis: OBJECTIVE Evaluate clinical effectiveness of the first trimester combined (FMF) pre-eclampsia screening programme when implemented in a public healthcare setting. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING London tertiary hospital from January 2017 to March 2019. METHODS 7720 women screened for pre-eclampsia according to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) risk-based guidance and 4841 by the Fetal Medical Foundation (FMF) algorithm which combined maternal risk factors, blood pressure, PAPP-A and uterine artery Doppler indices in the first trimester. High risk was defined by standard NICE criteria in the pre-intervention cohort (prescribed 75 mg aspirin) or a risk of ≥1:50 for preterm pre-eclampsia from the FMF algorithm in the post-intervention cohort (prescribed 150 mg aspirin). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Screening effectiveness, rates of pre-eclampsia. RESULTS The FMF screening programme resulted in a significant reduction in the screen-positive rate (16.1 versus 8.2%, odds ratio [OR] 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41-0.53) with a concurrent increase in targeted aspirin use in women classified as high risk for pre-eclampsia (28.9 versus 99.0%, OR 241.6, 95% CI 89.6-652.0). Screening indices were uniformly improved for the FMF algorithm with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrating excellent discrimination for preterm pre-eclampsia (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.846, 95% CI 0.778-0.915, P value
