Maternal Serum Biomarkers for Prediction of Adverse Obstetric Outcomes

Improved accuracy of the identification of pregnant people at risk of preeclampsia and spontaneous preterm birth has the potential to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Assessment of historical risk and clinical factors represents the traditional approach to diagnosis and planning interventions. Maternal serum biomarker testing is proposed as an adjunct to standard screening to identify pregnant people at risk of preeclampsia and spontaneous preterm birth.
