Sequential plasma angiogenic factors levels in women with suspected preeclampsia.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Alterations in circulating angiogenic factors are associated with the diagnosis of preeclampsia and correlate with adverse perinatal outcomes during the third trimester. OBJECTIVE:Analysis of the sequential levels of plasma angiogenic factors among patients admitted for evaluation of preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN:We performed an observational study among women with singleton pregnancies admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, for evaluation of preeclampsia at less than 37 weeks of gestation. Plasma samples were collected on admission and daily for the first 3 days and then weekly until delivery. Doppler ultrasound was performed on admission (within 48 hours) and then weekly (within 24 hours of blood collection) to evaluate uteroplacental and umbilical blood flows. Maternal demographics, hospital course, mode of delivery, diagnosis of hypertensive disorder, adverse maternal outcomes (elevated liver function enzymes, low platelet count, pulmonary edema, cerebral hemorrhage, convulsion, acute renal insufficiency, or maternal death), and adverse fetal/neonatal outcomes (small for gestational age, abnormal umbilical artery Doppler, fetal death, and neonatal death) were recorded. Circulating angiogenic factors (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase and placental growth factor were measured on automated platform in a single batch after delivery and in a blinded fashion. Data are presented as median (25th to 75th centile), mean, or proportions as appropriate. RESULTS:During the study period, data from 100 women were analyzed for the study, and 43 had adverse outcomes. Women with adverse outcomes had lower gestational age of delivery, higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures during hospitalization, and lower birthweight and placental weight (all P < .01). These patients had higher soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratio on admission and continued to have an increase in levels throughout hospital course. The median (25th to 75th) soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratio among patients with adverse outcomes was 205.9 (72.5, 453.1) versus 47.5 (9.7, 87.0) among women without adverse outcomes (P < .001). The median (25th to 75th) absolute change per day in soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase levels (pg/mL) was 491.0 pg/mL (120.3, 1587.2) among women with adverse outcomes versus 81.3 pg/mL (-177.9, 449.0) among women without adverse outcomes (P = .01). Similarly the absolute change per day for soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratio was 15.1 (1.8, 58.1) versus 2.7 (-0.6, 8.3) between the two groups (P = .004). The mean (range) days from admission to delivery was 6 (0-35) among subjects with soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratio ≥85 and 14 (0-39) below a ratio of 85 (P < .001). The positive predictive value for plasma soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratio ≥85 at admission for indicated delivery within 2 weeks was 91% (83-99%). Admission plasma soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratio positively correlated with pre-delivery uterine artery resistive index (r = 0.35; P = .004). CONCLUSION:Among women admitted for evaluation of preeclampsia, women at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes have higher soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratio on admission, which continued to rise until delivery. Women with high soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor ratios delivered sooner than women with low soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase/placental growth factor levels. These data support the hypothesis that targeting angiogenic imbalance in preeclampsia may lead to prolongation of pregnancy.
