BACKGROUND
There is a robust association between altered angiogenic factor concentrations, including placental growth factor and clinically recognized preeclampsia. Alterations in concentrations of angiogenic factors precede the clinical onset of preeclampsia by several weeks. The temporal relationship between the measured angiogenic factors and the time to delivery in women presenting with suspected preeclampsia at <35weeks gestation, however remains to be clarified.
OBJECTIVES
To examine the relationship between placental growth factor (PlGF) and time-to-delivery in women <35 weeks' gestation presenting with signs or symptoms of preeclampsia, and to compare the performance of PlGF to other clinical markers for prediction of time-to-delivery in preeclampsia.
STUDY DESIGN
Women with signs or symptoms of preeclampsia between 20.0 and 35.0 weeks were enrolled in a prospective, observational study at 24 centers. Blood was collected at presentation for PlGF, and subjects were evaluated and managed according to local protocols. Clinical outcomes were obtained and all final diagnoses were adjudicated by an independent expert panel according to 2013 ACOG Hypertension in Pregnancy criteria. PlGF was measured retrospectively on the Alere, Inc. Triage platform. A normal PlGF was defined as >100 pg/ml and the assay's limit of detection is 12 pg/ml. 2x2 tables were constructed for comparison of test outcomes including negative predictive value (NPV); time-to-delivery was analyzed by survival curves and Cox regression.
RESULTS
753 subjects were enrolled; 538 (71%) had a final diagnosis of preeclampsia. 542 (72%) delivered <37 weeks and 358 (47%) <34 weeks. Among the 279 (37%) women with a normal PlGF at presentation, the NPV for preeclampsia delivered within 14 days, or within 7 days was 90% and 93%, respectively. As compared to women with normal PlGF, women with PlGF < 100 pg/mL have a hazard ratio of 7.17 (5.08, 10.13) in Cox regression for time-to-delivery after adjusting for both gestational age at enrollment and the final diagnosis of preeclampsia. The PlGF levels of normal (>100 pg/mL), low (12 to 100 pg/mL), and very low (<12 pg/mL), have well separated distributions of time-to-delivery with median values of 45, 10, and 2 days, respectively. Subjects with PlGF < 100 pg/mL have a perinatal death rate of 5.7% and an SGA rate of 51.7%, while subjects with PlGF > 100 pg/mL have a perinatal death rate of 0% (no observations in this cohort) and an SGA rate of 16.8%.
CONCLUSIONS
In women with suspected preeclampsia at < 35.0 weeks, a low PlGF was strongly correlated with preterm delivery independent of a diagnosis of preeclampsia or gestational age at presentation, whereas a normal PlGF was associated with pregnancy prolongation, even in patients who ultimately had a final diagnosis of preeclampsia. This suggests that PlGF levels are superior to clinical markers in predicting adverse pregnancy in women presenting with suspected preeclampsia.
