Implication

May aid preeclampsia risk stratification in pregnancy; leaves open need for prospective validation before clinical use.

Structured PICO

Can a stepwise prediction index based on patient history, laboratory, and clinical parameters accurately identify women at high risk for developing preeclampsia?

Population

151 nonpregnant women, including 101 with a history of preeclampsia (PE) and 50 parous women with a history of one or more successful normotensive pregnancies with comparable age, gestation, and parity profiles.

Intervention

Three-step preeclampsia prediction index based on medical examination, hemostasis/coagulation tests, and relative plasma volume.

Outcome

Derivation of a prediction index for identifying women at high risk for developing preeclampsia.surrogate

A stepwise prediction index utilizing clinical history, coagulation tests, and plasma volume can significantly increase the predictive probability of identifying women at high risk for preeclampsia.
