Article Synopsis
- FMF London created a new first trimester screening method for predicting preterm preeclampsia (pPE) that is more effective than traditional methods based on maternal risk factors.
- A multicenter study was conducted in Switzerland from June 2020 to May 2021, collecting data on singleton pregnancies at hospitals in Basel, Lucerne, and Bern to validate this screening algorithm.
- Preliminary results showed that out of 1,027 patients, 16.9% were identified as at risk for pPE, with low rates of preeclampsia leading to hopes for effective integration into routine practice and the use of low-dose aspirin as prevention.
Purpose: Vitamin D is primarily known for its role in bone health. However, it has a much more diverse role in the human metabolism. Specifically, deficiency of vitamin D has recently been studied for its possible role in adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and preterm birth.
