First trimester screening for Preeclampsia (PE) using FMF-London-Algorithm with placenta associated plasma protein-a (PAPP-A) and placental growth factor (PlGF)
Purpose: To investigate the pregnancy outcomes of the high risk population after screening and off-label use of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 100 mg/day.
Materials and methods: 343 patients were screened between August 2013 and August 2015 using the FMF-London-Software combining the maternal history with multiple of the median (MoM) – Results of PlGF, PAPP-A, mean arterial pressure and pulsaltiliy index of uterine arteries.
Results: 40 patients (12%) were screened positive for early-onset PE with a cut-off of 1:150. 26 patients (84%) accepted a prophylactic off-label therapy with ASA 100 mg/day. Among these patients, 5 patients (19%) developed late-onset PE, 1 patient (4%) early-onset PE, 3 patients (12%) with intrauterine fetal growth retardation (IUGR) before 34 weeks and 2 patients (8%) with IUGR after 3 weeks.
Conclusion: The results of the multicenter ASPRE-Study need to be awaited to correlate our local results.
