The aim of this study was to assess the added value of the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio for adjusting the periodicity of ultrasound examinations in early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) and small for gestational age (SGA). A prospective, observational study. Tertiary referral hospital. One hundred and thirty-four single pregnancies with ultrasonographic estimated fetal weight (EFW) below the 10th centile between 20 +0 and 31 +6 weeks of gestation with antegrade umbilical artery flow. The time from Doppler and sFlt-1/PlGF assessment to delivery was recorded and classified into four ranges: <1, <2, <3 and <4 weeks. Sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of sFlt-1/PlGF values to predict the time to delivery. In the SGA cohort, the NPV calculated for an sFlt-1/PlGF cut-off value of 38 was 100% for delivery before 3 weeks, and 98% for delivery before 4 weeks after diagnosis (95% CI 0. 89-1. 00). In the FGR cohort, the NPV calculated for an sFlt-1/PlGF cut-off value of 38 was 100% for delivery before 2 weeks after diagnosis (95% CI 0. 92-1. 00). By contrast, more than 50% of cases with an sFlt-1/PlGF value of. |
