Competing Risks Model in Early Screening for Preeclampsia by Biophysical and Biochemical Markers

TLDR
A new model has been developed for effective first-trimester screening for PE based on maternal characteristics, biophysical and biochemical markers based on a survival time model for the time of delivery in which Bayes’ theorem was used.
Abstract
Objective: To develop models for prediction of preeclampsia (PE) based on maternal characteristics, biophysical and biochemical markers at 11–13 weeks’ gestation

Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Management of the Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: Executive Summary

TL;DR: The current evidence assessed in the clinical practice guideline prepared by the Canadian Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Working Group and published by Pregnancy Hypertension to provide a reasonable approach to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is presented.

Competing risks model in screening for preeclampsia by maternal characteristics and medical history.

TL;DR: A new model that is based on maternal characteristics and medical history has been developed for the estimation of patient-specific risks for preeclampsia and is an essential first step in the use of Bayes theorem to combine maternal factors with biomarkers for the continuing development of more effective methods of screening for the disease.

The Global Impact of Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia

TL;DR: Although it is a low cost effective treatment, magnesium sulfate is not available in all low and middle income countries; scaling up its use for eClampsia and severe preeclampsia will contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

A critical evaluation of sonar "crown-rump length" measurements.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the reproducibility and accuracy of the sonar technique of measurement of the in vivo fetal crown‐rump length showed that the basic sonar measurements were in error by an overestimate of 1 mm for the beam width effect and 3.7 per cent for the scale factor and velocity calibration errors.
