Clinical evaluation of a first trimester algorithm predicting the risk of hypertensive disease of pregnancy

The aim of this study is to validate the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) multiple logistic regression algorithm for prediction of risk of pre‐eclampsia in an Australian population. This model, which predicts risk using the population rate of pre‐eclampsia, a variety of demographic factors, mean maternal arterial blood pressure (MAP), uterine artery PI (UtA PI) and pregnancy‐associated plasma protein A (PAPP‐A), has been shown to predict early‐onset pre‐eclampsia (delivery prior to 34 weeks) in 95% of women at a 10% false‐positive rate.
