The sFlt1/PlGF ratio predicts faster fetal deterioration in early fetal growth restriction: A historical cohort study by Catarina R. Palma dos Reis, Sofia Brás, Tânia Meneses, Ana S. Cerdeira, Manu Vatish, Ana T. Martins

“…The correlation of log10 sFlt1/PlGF with latency to delivery/fetal demise was assessed with linear, logistic (positive sFlt1/PlGF if >85) and Cox regression excluding deliveries for maternal conditions and controlling for preeclampsia, gestational age at time of ratio test, maternal age and smoking during pregnancy. Receiver‐operating characteristic (ROC) analysis tested the performance of sFlt1/PlGF ratio in predicting delivery for fetal reasons in the following week. …”
