NCT05521776

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether first-trimester screening for preeclampsia based on the FMF algorithm (a combination of maternal clinical, sonographic and biochemical parameters), improves maternal or perinatal health.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Severe perinatal morbidity

    The primary outcome will be severe perinatal morbidity defined by a composite criterion including at least one of the following: * perinatal mortality (stillbirth ≥ 20 WG or with birth weight \> 500 g or neonatal death within 7 days of life) or prematurity \< 34 WG or birth weight \< 3° percentile. * prematurity \< 34 WG: birth before ≥ 34 WG * birth weight \< 3° percentile

    From birth up to 7 days of life

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Incidence of preeclampsia

    From inclusion up to discharge from hospital after delivery (max 30 days)

  • Incidence of components of moderate and severe maternal morbidity

    From inclusion up to discharge from hospital after delivery (max 30 days)

  • Incidence of components of moderate and severe perinatal morbidity

    During pregnancy and up to discharge from hospital (max 30 days) - Intraventricular hemorrage grade II or above-Anemia requiring blood transfusion-Respiratory distress

  • Impact of first-trimester PE screening on potential adverse events

    From inclusion up to discharge from hospital (max 30 days)

  • Aspirin side effects

    From inclusion up to discharge from hospital (max 30 days)

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

With first trimester preeclampsia screening

EXPERIMENTAL

Risk assessment of developing preeclampsia between 11 and 14 WG based on maternal parameters, blood pressure measurement, Doppler measurements of the uterine arteries and maternal PlGF concentration. Patients at high risk of preeclampsia are treated with aspirin.

Procedure: First-trimester preeclampsia screening (FMF triple test)

Without first trimester preeclampsia screening

NO INTERVENTION

Usual prenatal care

Interventions

An algorithm assessing the risk of developing preeclampsia combining maternal parameters, blood pressure measurement, Doppler measurements of the uterine arteries and maternal PlGF concentrations. For women in the screening group, a Doppler study of the uterine arteries and a blood test to quantify PlGF concentrations will be performed within 2 days of randomization, allowing the risk to be calculated according to the screening test. For women with a positive screening test (i.e. predicted risk\> 1/100), a treatment with aspirin will be prescribed at 160 mg/day, started as soon as possible and before 15 WG, and taken up to 36 WG, in the absence of contraindications. For women with negative screening, usual pregnancy monitoring without aspirin will be offered.
