Efficacy of shear wave elastography in predicting preeclampsia in the first trimester.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of shear wave elastography (SWE) for preeclampsia (PE) in first-trimester pregnancies.

Methods: Singleton pregnant women aged 18-45 years, who underwent routine first-trimester prenatal examinations (11-13 weeks+6 days) were enrolled. Pregnancies with anterior placenta and normal first-trimester screening test results were included in the study group.

Comparison of elasticity values in normal and gestational diabetic pregnancies in the third trimester.

Placental elasticity was compared by using Shear wave elastography (SWE) in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with and without insulin to non-diabetic controls. Three groups were created as follows: Group 1 ( = 79, GDM with insulin therapy), Group 2 ( = 90, GDM with only diet) and Group 3 ( = 150, healthy controls) All patients were above 36 gestational weeks with anterior placenta. Clinical trial number was also received (NCT04455880).

Predictive Role of First-trimester ELABELA Levels for Late-onset Preeclampsia.

Objective: To determine the predictive role of first trimester maternal serum ELABELA (ELA) levels in late-onset preeclampsia (PE).

Study Design: Comparative descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital, Bursa, Turkey between January and September 2019.
