Objective: To investigate whether there is an association between the gestational age at the onset of preeclampsia in recurrent cases and the gestational age at the onset of preeclampsia in previous pregnancies.
Methods: This retrospective nested case-control study was designed to investigate whether gestational age at diagnosis and at delivery in recurrent cases of preeclampsia correlates with gestational age at diagnosis and delivery in the previous cases of preeclampsia in the same individuals. The database of a Ukrainian research network was used to find patients with the diagnosis of preeclampsia between 2019 and 2021.

Purpose: To investigate additional potential clinical risk factors for preeclampsia.
Methods: This is a nested case-control study of preeclampsia and unaffected pregnancies. Cases were either from a prenatal screening database or from a national network of clinicians, and controls were from the same prenatal source.
Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder, usually defined as the development of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio has been widely studied as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of preeclampsia and other manifestations of placental dysfunction. A sFlt-1/PlGF ratio greater than 85 for early PE, <34 weeks of gestation suggests a high risk of PE requiring close clinical monitoring.
