This study aimed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of combining serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1/placental growth factor (sFlt-1/PlGF) ratio with uterine artery Doppler ultrasound for early-onset preeclampsia (PE) before 34 weeks' gestation.
A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 148 singleton pregnancies (control group: n = 76; early-onset PE group: n = 72) who delivered at our institution between July 2023 and June 2024. At 24-28 weeks, serum sFlt-1 and PlGF levels were quantified via electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (Roche Elecsys), and uterine artery pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) were measured by Doppler ultrasound (M22 system, standardized settings). Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves assessed predictive performance.
Compared to controls, PE patients exhibited significantly elevated sFlt-1 (24.02 ± 6.68 vs 16.38 ± 7.47 μg/L; P < 0.001), reduced PlGF (1.22 ± 0.14 vs 1.54 ± 0.30 μg/L; P < 0.001), and higher sFlt-1/PlGF ratio (20.76 ± 7.71 vs 10.11 ± 4.10; P < 0.001). Doppler indices were markedly increased in PE: PI (1.34 ± 0.26 vs 0.82 ± 0.11; P < 0.001), RI (0.78 ± 0.12 vs 0.51 ± 0.07; P < 0.001), and S/D (3.89 ± 0.97 vs 2.11 ± 0.41; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed all parameters as independent predictors (P < 0.05), with sFlt-1/PlGF ratio having the highest odds ratio (OR = 1.332, 95% CI: 1.128-1.573). The combined model achieved superior predictive performance: area under curve (AUC)=0.954 (95% CI: 0.92-0.99) vs sFlt-1/PlGF alone (AUC = 0.887; P = 0.003) or PI alone (AUC = 0.821; P < 0.001), with sensitivity 82.2%, specificity 96.7%, and accuracy 94.7%.
Integration of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and uterine artery Doppler parameters (particularly uterine artery PI and RI) significantly enhances early-onset PE prediction, providing a robust tool for clinical risk stratification.
本研究旨在评估血清可溶性fms样酪氨酸激酶-1/胎盘生长因子(sFlt-1/PlGF)比值联合子宫动脉多普勒超声对妊娠34周前早发型子痫前期(PE)的预测效能。
对2023年7月至2024年6月在我院分娩的148例单胎妊娠进行回顾性队列分析(对照组:n = 76;早发型PE组:n = 72)。在孕24 - 28周时,通过电化学发光免疫分析(罗氏Elecsys)定量检测血清sFlt-1和PlGF水平,并用多普勒超声(M22系统,标准化设置)测量子宫动脉搏动指数(PI)、阻力指数(RI)和收缩期/舒张期比值(S/D)。采用逻辑回归和受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线评估预测性能。
与对照组相比,PE患者的sFlt-1显著升高(24.02±6.68 vs 16.38±7.47μg/L;P < 0.001),PlGF降低(1.22±0.14 vs 1.54±0.30μg/L;P < 0.001),sFlt-1/PlGF比值更高(20.76±7.71 vs 10.11±4.10;P < 0.001)。PE患者的多普勒指标明显升高:PI(1.34±0.26 vs 0.82±0.11;P < 0.001)、RI(0.78±0.12 vs 0.51±0.07;P < 0.001)和S/D(3.89±0.97 vs 2.11±0.41;P < 0.001)。多因素分析证实所有参数均为独立预测因子(P < 0.05),其中sFlt-1/PlGF比值的比值比最高(OR = 1.332,95%CI:1.128 - 1.573)。联合模型具有更好的预测性能:曲线下面积(AUC)=0.954(95%CI:0.92 - ),而单独的sFlt-1/PlGF(AUC = 0.887;P = 0.003)或单独的PI(AUC = 0.821;P < 0.001)的AUC分别为0.887和0.821,联合模型的敏感性为82.2%,特异性为96.7%,准确性为94.7%。
sFlt-1/PlGF比值与子宫动脉多普勒参数(特别是子宫动脉PI和RI)相结合可显著提高早发型PE的预测能力,为临床风险分层提供有力工具。
