Abstract
We investigated the value of measuring sFlt-1/PlGF in people with suspected fetal growth restriction (sFGR) without signs of preeclampsia at recruitment. Angiogenic biomarkers were considered positive when sFlt-1/PlGF > 38 or PlGF < 100 pg/mL. Clinicians were blinded to the sFlt-1/PlGF results. In sFGR presenting < 32 weeks, but not ≥ 32-37 weeks, positive angiogenic biomarkers vs. NZ FGR criteria had increased risk of preterm birth RR 5.32 [2.04-13.88] vs. 2.19 [0.89-5.37], respectively, and birthweight < 3rd centile RR 2.11 [1.24-3.58] vs. 1.83 [0.92-3.63], respectively. Larger studies are needed to establish whether routine testing of angiogenic biomarkers in sFGR is recommended for risk stratification.
期刊介绍:
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ANZJOG) is an editorially independent publication owned by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) and the RANZCOG Research foundation. ANZJOG aims to provide a medium for the publication of original contributions to clinical practice and/or research in all fields of obstetrics and gynaecology and related disciplines. Articles are peer reviewed by clinicians or researchers expert in the field of the submitted work. From time to time the journal will also publish printed abstracts from the RANZCOG Annual Scientific Meeting and meetings of relevant special interest groups, where the accepted abstracts have undergone the journals peer review acceptance process.
