Why the study?

Does maternal cardiac output measured in the first trimester predict the development of preeclampsia, PIH, or SGA?

Population

4,293 pregnant women attending routine care between 11 and 13 weeks of gestation.

Comparison

Measurement of maternal cardiac output by… vs Unaffected pregnancies (n=3,591).

Implication

First-trimester cardiac output may aid preeclampsia risk stratification; hypothesis-generating for screening models pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does maternal cardiac output measured in the first trimester predict the development of preeclampsia, PIH, or SGA?

P
Population
4,293 pregnant women attending routine care between 11(+0) and 13(+6) weeks of gestation (83 developed preeclampsia, 87 pregnancy-induced hypertension [PIH], 532 small for gestational age [SGA], 3,591 unaffected).
I
Intervention
Measurement of maternal cardiac output by echocardiography in the first trimester.
C
Comparator
Unaffected pregnancies (n=3,591).
O
Outcome
Development of preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), or delivery of small for gestational age (SGA) infants.hard clinical

Alterations in maternal cardiac output measured by echocardiography in the first trimester predate the clinical onset of preeclampsia, PIH, and SGA, offering potential predictive value.
