This document provides a summary of first trimester screening and prevention of preeclampsia. It discusses the definition, incidence, and classification of preeclampsia. It then describes methods for predicting preeclampsia in the first trimester using a combination of maternal risk factors, blood pressure measurements, uterine artery Doppler ultrasound, and biochemical markers. Women identified as high risk through this screening should receive low-dose aspirin starting at 11-14 weeks to help prevent preeclampsia.
5. 2. DEFINITION
Previous:
onset of hypertension accompanied by significant
proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation.

6. International Society for the Study of Hypertension in
Pregnancy (ISSHP).2018
Hypertension
SBP at ≥140 mm Hg &/or DBP at ≥90 mm Hg
on at least two occasions measured 4 hours apart in
previously normotensive women
accompanied by one or more of the following new-
onset conditions at or after 20 w:
1. Proteinuria
2. Maternal organ dysfunction
3. Uteroplacental dysfunction

7. 1. Proteinuria
≥30 mg/mol protein:creatinine ratio
≥300 mg/24 h; or
≥2 + dipstick

Acute kidney injury
(creatinine ≥90 μmol/L; 1 mg/dL)
Liver involvement

aminotransferase >40 IU/L) with or without right upper quadrant or
epigastric abdominal pain;
Neurological complications

13. II. FIRST TRIMESTER PREDICTION OF PRETERM
PREECLAMPSIA
Problems with existing methods of screening
identify risk factors from maternal demographic
characteristics& medical history (maternal risk
factors).
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
14. NICE:
women should be considered to be at high risk of
developing PE if they have
any one high-risk factor
hypertensive disease in previous pregnancy
chronic hypertension
chronic renal disease
DM
autoimmune disease or
any two moderate-risk factors
nulliparity
age ≥40 y
BMI ≥35 kg/m2,
family history of PE, or
interpregnancy interval >10 y
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
15. ACOG
women with a history of
early-onset PE
preterm delivery ≤34 w,
≥one prior pregnancy complicated by PE
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
16. US Preventive Services Task Force guideline has now been
endorsed by ACOG, SMFM, and the American Diabetes
Association.
One or more of history of
PE,
renal disease,
Autoimmune disease
type 1 or type 2 diabetes
chronic hypertension or
More than one of several moderate-risk factors
first pregnancy
age of ≥35 years
BMI >30 kg/m2
family history of PE
sociodemographic characteristics, and personal history
factors
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
17. Criticism:
1. Each risk factor as a separate screening test with additive
detection rate& screen-positive rate.
2. Maternal risk factors is not a sufficient tool for the
effective prediction of PE.

Maternal height, cm
Maternal ethnicity: white, Afro-Caribbean, South Asian, East Asian, Mixed
Obstetric
Nulliparous, parous without prior PE, parous with prior PE
Interpregnancy interval in years between the birth of the last child
Gest age at delivery
birth weight of previous pregnancy beyond 24 w
Medical:
Family history of PE (mother)
Method of conception: spontaneous, ov induction, IVF
Smoking habit
History of chronic hypertension
History of DM: type 1, type 2, insulin intake
History of SLE or antiphospholipid syndromeABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
19. 2. Measurement Of Blood Pressure
measured by validated automated&semiautomated devices
The measured sBP and dBP will be automatically
converted to MAP by the risk calculator.
MAP=dBP+(sBP−dBP)∕3
MAP
is converted to a multiple of median (MoM),
adjusting for these associated maternal
characteristics& gestational age
will be used for calculation of patient-specific
risk.

20. 3. Measurement Of Uterine Artery Pulsatility Index
TA US:
done at 11+0 to 13+6 w
corresponding to CRL 42–84 mm
Gest age determined from measurement CRL.
UTPI
Abnormal if ≥90th percentile
Is adjusted for associated maternal
characteristics& gest age by converting it to a

22. 4. Measurement Of Biochemical Markers
PLGF.
The best biochemical marker
PAPP-A
if measurements of PLGF& UTPI are not
available.

23. 5. Combined Risk Assessment
Patient-specific risk for preterm PE
is calculated using the Bayes-based method.

26. If Calculated risk: ≥1 in 100
A woman is at high risk
The first-trimester combined test
most predictive of preterm PE but not term PE.
The best model is the one that combines
1. Risk factors
2. MAP
3. UTPI.
4. PLGF
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
28. Where it is not possible to measure the biochemical
markers and/or UTPI, the baseline screening test
should be a combination of
Maternal risk factors with
MAP & not maternal risk factors alone.
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
30. Multiple pregnancies
The same first-trimester combined test for PE in
singleton pregnancies can be adapted for
screening in twin pregnancies.
It leads to the detection of nearly all affected cases
of PE but at a high screen-positive rate.
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
31. III. FIRST TRIMESTER PREVENTION OF PRETERM
PRE- ECLAMPSIA
Women at high risk should receive aspirin prophylaxis
Start at 11–14+6 w
Dose: ~150 mg
minimum: 100mg/d
Every night
Stop:
36 w, when delivery occurs, or
PE is diagnosed.
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
33. In women with low calcium intake (<800 mg/d), either
calcium replacement (≤1 g elemental calcium/d) or
calcium supplementation (1.5–2 g elemental
calcium/d) may reduce the burden of both
early&late-onset PE.
ABOUBAKR MOHAMED ELNASHAR
34. The benefit of other treatments, such as
Heparin
Vit C& E
Magnesium
Folate
Metformin, and
Statin for prophylaxis of preterm PE
not yet based on credible evidence
their use solely is neither justified nor
recommended.
