Abstract
Several biochemical markers measured in the first and second pregnancy trimester have been used to predict occurrence of GH/PE in the later course of pregnancy. Still, although different biomarkers of placental function and vascularisation have been associated with GH/PE occurrence in the literature data, few are used diagnostically in routine clinical settings. All women satisfying the inclusion criteria are enrolled into the study. Informed consent obtained from the women. The details required for the clinical study were obtained with the help of a preform, which contained the demographic details, details of clinical symptomatology, past history, personal history, drug history, clinical examination details, laboratory investigations and imaging studies and the treatment details. ß‐hCG and the statistical characteristics of the ß‐hCG for prediction of PIH were calculated. The sensitivity of the study was 73% with a specificity of 100%. The positive predictive value and the negative predictive value were 100% and 89% respectively.
