What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate a preeclampsia risk screening scheme based on maternal high-risk factors and placental growth factor (PlGF) detection. It focuses on early prediction and targeted management of high-risk pregnant women to reduce the incidence of preeclampsia and associated complications. By establishing appropriate screening and prevention standards for the Chinese population, the study seeks to significantly lower maternal and fetal mortality rates. The methodology involves real-world assessments and interventions to improve outcomes for pregnant women.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pregnant women who have been screened for preeclampsia risk based on clinical guidelines.

Not a fit: Patients with severe fetal malformations or those who have been using aspirin regularly prior to joining the study may not benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a significant reduction in maternal and fetal deaths associated with preeclampsia.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with similar screening approaches, indicating potential for effective intervention.

* 2\) Based on the authoritative guideline of Figo and the consensus of experts in China, pregnant women who routinely use maternal factor +MAP+PLGF±UtA-PI in the first trimester or PLGF or sFlt-1/PLGF in the second and third trimesters to assess the risk of preeclampsia.
* 3\) Meet any of the above conditions, join the group voluntarily, and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

* 1\) Severe fetal malformation or abnormality (no fetal heartbeat);
