Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels lower than 0.4 multiples of the median (MoMs) in the first trimester are linked to an increased risk of neonatal abnormalities, particularly small for gestational age (SGA).
- A study involving 8,460 pregnant women found that those with low PAPP-A levels had higher mean age, lower gestational age, and lower birth weight, compared to those with higher levels.
- The research determined that a PAPP-A level of 0.25 MoMs was the best cutoff for predicting SGA, with a sensitivity of 84.7% and specificity of 68.6%.
