This study aims to assess the utility of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio throughout pregnancy in predicting placental dysfunction and neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies. Prospective study at a tertiary hospital. All pregnant women with a twin pregnancy who signed the informed consent were included. The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was measured at 12, 24, and 32 weeks' gestation. Seventy patients were included, and 30% developed placental dysfunction. Differences were found in the mean sFlt-1/PlGF ratios at week 32 (13.6 vs. 31.8, = 0.007). Optimal cutoffs at 12, 24, and 32 weeks to identify patients who develop placental dysfunction were 32.5, 8.5, and 30.5, respectively, with ORs of 4.25 (1.13-20.69 95% IC; = 0.044), 13.5 (3.07-67.90 95% IC; = 0.001), 14.29 (3.59-66.84 95% IC; < 0.001). The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio at 32 weeks was associated with gestational age at birth. The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in weeks 24 and 32 had a statistically significant negative correlation with the birth weight percentile in both twins. The potential of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio as a predictive tool for placental dysfunction in twin pregnancies is underscored.
本研究旨在评估整个孕期sFlt-1/PlGF比值在预测双胎妊娠胎盘功能障碍及新生儿结局中的作用。在一家三级医院进行的前瞻性研究。纳入所有签署知情同意书的双胎妊娠孕妇。在妊娠12、24和32周时测量sFlt-1/PlGF比值。共纳入70例患者,其中30%发生胎盘功能障碍。在32周时,两组的平均sFlt-1/PlGF比值存在差异(13.6对31.8,P = 0.007)。在12、24和32周时,用于识别发生胎盘功能障碍患者的最佳截断值分别为32.5、8.5和30.5,其比值比分别为4.25(95%置信区间1.13 - 20.69;P = 0.044)、13.5(95%置信区间3.07 - 67.90;P = 0.001)、14.29(95%置信区间3.59 - 66.84;P < 0.001)。32周时的sFlt-1/PlGF比值与出生孕周相关。24周和32周时的sFlt-1/PlGF比值与双胎的出生体重百分位数均呈显著负相关。强调了sFlt-1/PlGF比值作为双胎妊娠胎盘功能障碍预测工具的潜力。
