Predicting Preeclampsia Pregnancy Termination Time Using sFlt-1

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) in predicting the time for pregnancy termination in pregnant women with known preeclampsia (PE) onset.MethodsForty-four pregnant women diagnosed with PE (22 weeks 0 days to 33 weeks 6 days gestation) were included in this study.
