First-trimester placental thickness and the risk of preeclampsia or SGA
Abstract Introduction Placental thickness in the second trimester of pregnancy has been associated with risks of placenta-mediated complications of pregnancy. We aimed to estimate the association between first-trimester maximum placental thickness and the subsequent risk of preeclampsia and/or the d...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Introduction Placental thickness in the second trimester of pregnancy has been associated with risks of placenta-mediated complications of pregnancy. We aimed to estimate the association between first-trimester maximum placental thickness and the subsequent risk of preeclampsia and/or the delivery of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonate. Methods Prospective cohort study of women recruited at 11–14 weeks gestation. Placental thickness was measured at its apparent center and reported in multiple of median (MoM) adjusted for gestational age. Participants were followed until delivery for pregnancy outcomes. Placental measurements of participants who developed preeclampsia and/or delivered SGA neonate (defined as birth weight below 10th percentile) were compared with those who did not using non-parametric statistical analyses. Results We recruited 991 participants at a mean gestational age of 12.7 ± 0.7 weeks of gestation. SGA (n = 52) was associated with reduced 1st trimester placental thickness (median: 0.89 MoM; interquartile (IQ): 0.75–1.02 vs 0.98 MoM; IQ: 0.84–1.15; p 1.2 MoM significantly increasing the risk for preeclampsia (relative risk: 3.6; 95%CI: 1.5–8.6, p |
