Objective Metformin has been reported to reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia. It is also known to influence soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 level, which correlates significantly with the gestational age at onset and severity of pre-eclampsia. The main aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials was to determine whether metformin use is associated with the incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).

Background: Women with chronic hypertension are at increased risk for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Maternal serum angiogenic markers, such as soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and placental growth factor, can be used to triage women with suspected preeclampsia. However, data about these markers in pregnant women with chronic hypertension are scarce. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of maternal serum levels of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1, placental growth factor, an...

This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of cardiovascular assessment in women with gestational hypertension or chronic hypertension for the risk of preeclampsia and need for closer antenatal surveillance. This was a prospective study of pregnancies complicated by gestational hypertension or chronic hypertension presenting to St George's Hospital, between January 2015 and May 2018. A noninvasive ultrasonic cardiac output monitor was used to obtain cardiovascular variables of cardiac output (CO) and s...
Angiogenic Marker Prognostic Models in Pregnant Women With Hypertension
Perry, Helen; Binder, Julia; Kalafat, Erkan; Jones, Stuart; Thilaganathan, Basky; Khalil, Asma (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2020-03-01)
Angiogenic markers such as PlGF (placental growth factor) and sFlt-1 (soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1) have been shown to be useful for predicting adverse outcome in women suspected of having preeclampsia. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the prognostic value of angiogenic markers and maternal risk factors in pregnant women with hypertension. This was a prospective study of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, or chronic hypertension presenting to 1 of 2 tertiary...
Prognostic value of angiogenic markers in pregnant women with chronic hypertension
Binder, Julia; Palmrich, Pilar; Kalafat, Erkan; Pateisky, Petra; Oeztuerk, Ebru; Mittelberger, Johanna; Khalil, Asma (2021-09-07)
Women with chronic hypertension face a 5-to 6-fold increased risk of developing preeclampsia compared with normotensive women. Angiogenic markers, especially soluble fms-like kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF), were identified as clinically useful markers predicting the development of preeclampsia, but data on the prediction of superimposed preeclampsia are scarce. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for delivery because of superimposed preeclampsi...
Should angiogenic markers be included in diagnostic criteria of superimposed pre-eclampsia in women with chronic hypertension?
Binder, J.; Kalafat, Erkan; Palmrich, P.; Pateisky, P.; Khalil, A. (2022-02-01)
Objective Although the most recent guidance from the International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) has highlighted the role of angiogenic marker assessment in the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia (PE) in women with chronic hypertension, the ISSHP has withheld recommending its implementation due to the limited available evidence in this group of women. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the value of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) assessment...
