Abstract

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Traditional screening based solely on maternal history has poor sensitivity. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a multi-parametric screening model in the first trimester (11-13 weeks) for the early prediction of pre-eclampsia. Methods: A prospective cohort study involving 500 pregnant women was conducted. All participants underwent screening at 11-13+6 weeks, which included: assessment of maternal risk factors, measurement of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), Doppler ultrasonography of the uterine arteries (UtA-PI), and serum analysis for PAPP-A and PlGF. The risk was calculated using the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) algorithm. Results: The combined screening model (Maternal factors + MAP + UtA-PI + PlGF) achieved a detection rate of 92% for early-onset PE and 76% for late-onset PE, with a false-positive rate of 10%. In contrast, screening based on maternal history alone detected only 35% of cases. Women identified as high-risk were started on low-dose aspirin (150 mg) prophylaxis. Conclusion: Combined first-trimester screening provides a highly accurate method for identifying women at high risk of pre-eclampsia. Early identification allows for timely prophylactic intervention with aspirin, significantly improving maternal and fetal outcomes.
