Placental growth factor and fetoplacental Doppler indices in combination predict preterm birth reliably in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction

Abstract

Low maternal serum PlGF level (< 100 ng/L) and abnormal fetoplacental Doppler indices (UA-PI > 95^th centile and UtA-PI > 95^th centile) in combination have the greatest predictive utility for PTB in pregnancies complicated by FGR. Their assessment may help guide clinical management of these complex pregnancies. © 2023 The Authors.
