Outline
 Introduction
 Prediction
 Prevention
Cochrane Systematic Review
Gold Standard' for high-quality
systematic reviews
•Preeclampsia:
Hypertension
associated with
proteinuria.
•Pathogenesis:
•unknown (Barton& Sibai, 2008).
Impaired trophoblast differentiation& invasion
Placental & endothelial dysfunction
Immune maladaptation to paternal Ags
Exaggerated systemic inflam response.
•Pathogenesis:
•Differs with various risk factors:
PG Vs MG with previous PE
preexisting vas dis
preexisting DM or
multifetal gestation.
In PE:
Impaired trophoblast
differentiation &
invasion
Placental and
endothelial
dysfunction
PREDICTION OF PE
• Why prediction is important?
• The ideal screening test
• Methods
I. Preconception factors
II. Pregnancy-Related Factors
1. Risk factors
2. Markers
Why prediction is important:
1. The risk for recurrent PE can be
as high as 65% (Barton& Sibai, 2008).
2. PE is associated with substantial
maternal& perinatal
complications
The ideal Screening test:
Simple
Noninvasive
Rapid
Inexpensive
Easy to perform early in pregnancy
Highly sensitivity & predictive.
I. Preconception factors
st
1
step in the management of a
woman with a history of PE is to
conduct a detailed evaluation of
potential risk factors (Barton& Sibai, 2008).
Preconceptional Risk Factors
Rates of preeclampsia depend on: severity of underlying complications&
combinations of risk factors.
Risk factors
Risk %
Chronic hypertension/renal disease
15-40
Pre gestational DM
10-35
Connective tissue disease (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis)
10-20
Thrombophilia (acquired or congenital)
10-40
Obesity/insulin resistance
10-15
Age older than 40 y
10-20
Limited sperm exposure
10-35
Family history of preeclampsia/ cardiovascular disease
10-15
Woman born as SFGA
1.5 fold
Adverse outcome in a previous pregnancy: IUGR, ab placentae,
IUFD
2-3 fold
II. Pregnancy-Related Factors
Regular antenatal care is mandatory for the prevention & early detection
of PE.
Risk factors: Magnitude of risk depends on the number of factors
Hydrops/hydropic degeneration of the placenta
Multifetal gestation
Unexplained FGR
Gestational hypertension
UTI
Periodontal infection
Markers

Biochemical
Markers
Many
Based on: pathophysiological abnormalities

I. Biophysical
•Mean arterial pressure
•(2D BP+S BP)/3
•Better predictor of PE than S& D BP (BMJ
200817;336:111; Meta-analysis of 34 RCT)
2nd trimester MA BP ≥ 90 mm Hg had +ve LR 3.5
and –ve LR 0.46
•BP remains the cornerstone of early diagnosis
although it has limitations:
measurement errors associated with sphygmomanometer
effect of maternal posture on BP in pregnant women}.
•Repeated routine urinalysis
throughout pregnancy NOT useful for
predicting PE
(JAMA 2003: 12;289(10):1220)
Uterine artery Doppler ultrasound
•}impaired trophoblastic invasion of the spiral arteries:
reduction in uteroplacental blood flow}
•High pulsatility index and/or Notch in 1st & 2nd
trimesters: poor predictor of PE(Papgeorghiou & Leslie, 2007)
Uterine artery Doppler plus biochemical markers
•Promising results
•Current data do not support this combination for
routine screening for PE (Barton& Sibai, 2008).
 Diastolic Notch in
uterine artery waveform
The Roll over test
Not of value in predicting PE
II. Biochemical Markers
Angiogenic factors before & after
the onset of PE
(Barton& Sibai, 2008).
Serum placental growth factor:
reduced
Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase:
elevated
Endoglin: elevated
Conclusion
•BP remains the cornerstone of early
diagnosis
•Markers
Reliability is inconsistent
Many suffer from poor specificity &
predictive values.
None provided a cutoff value that could
be clinically useful for the prediction of
PE
(Widmer et al, 2007).
•Currently:
There is no clinically useful
screening test to predict PE (WHO,
2004)
Prevention of PE
Primary
Secondary
Primary prevention
•Avoiding occurrence of the disease
•Obese:
achieve an ideal b wt before conception
(Villamor& Cnattingius, 2006)
No RCT
•Ch hypertension:
Control BP before conception.
No RCT
•Pregestational DM:
-Complete her family as early as possible &
before vascular complications develop
-Control DM before conception & throughout
pregnancy
Secondary
•Breaking off the disease process before emergence
of obvious clinical disease
•{Etiology of the disease is unknown}
•To correct theoretical pathophysiology
•I. Non pharmacological
II. Nutritional
III. Pharmacological
I. Non pharmacological
1. Daily Bed rest
Rest for 4-6 h/d
May reduce risk of
PE for women with normal BP
(level 2 evidence)
(Cochrane Library 2006 Issue 2:CD005939)
2. Life-style changes
•High job stress: greater risk
of PE(Sharma& Mittal, 2006)
•Reducing job stress may be
beneficial in the prevention of
PE
3. Regular prenatal exercise
•May prevent or oppose progression (Weissgerber et al, 2004)
•{Stimulation of placental growth
Reduction of oxidative stress
Reversal of maternal endothelial dysfunction}.
•Insufficient evidence
Moderate intensity regular aerobic exercise
(Cochrane Library 2006 Issue 2:CD005942)
Aerobic exercise =cardiovascular exercise=any sustained rhythmic activity that
involves large muscle groups: makes the lungs work harder as the body's need for
oxygen is increased.
•Stretching exercises are more effective at reducing the
risk of PE than walking
(University of North Carolina,2008)
Smoking:
Reduced risk for PE (Sibai et al, 2005).
{Nicotine inhibition of interleukin-2 & tumor
necrosis factor
Effects of nicotine on angiogenic proteins}.
Smoking:
abnormal fetal growth
preterm birth
Abruption
Adverse effects on maternal health.
II. Nutritional
1. Higher total dietary fiber
intake in early pregnancy may
reduce risk for PE
(level 2 evidence)
Prospective cohort study
Am J Hypertens 2008 Aug;21(8):903
2. Increasing dietary protein & energy intake
RCT: no benefit
•5 or more servings of chocolate/w in
3rd trimester:40% reduction
(Triche, 2008; Epidemiology .19:459-464), Yale University
{Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is rich
in theobromine: stimulates the heart, relaxes
smooth muscle & dilates blood vessels, and
has been used to treat chest pain, high blood
pressure}
3. Garlic
Insufficient evidence
to recommend for
preventing PE
Cochrane Library 2006 Issue3:CD006065)
4. Dietary sodium restriction
• No significant differences
(Cochrane Library 2005 Issue 4:CD005548)
6. Fish Oil Supplementation
•Observational studies: beneficial effects
•{inhibition of platelet thromboxane A2 without affecting
prostacyclin: shifting the balance toward a reduced platelet
aggregation and increased VD}.
•RCT: No benefit
(Olsen et al, 2000)
•High doses: increase the risk of PIH
(Olafasdottir et al, 2006).
•Not recommended for the prevention of PE
5. Weight Reduction
•Although obesity is a known risk
factor, there is no evidence that limiting
wt gain during pregnancy; reduces its
occurrence.
•Wt reduction is not recommended during
pregnancy even in obese women (Kramer, 2004)
III. Pharmacological
1. Low-dose Aspirin
•{inhibits biosynthesis of platelet thromboxane A2
with little effect on vascular prostacyclin production:
altering the balance in favor of prostacyclin}.
•(50-150 mg/day)
For women with a previous history of
hypertension or PE (n=6,107):
Small to moderate benefits, safe.
level 2 evidence
(Cochrane Library 2007 Issue 2:CD004659)
2. Low-dose Aspirin/Heparin
•History of severe preterm PE &
LBW infants.
(Sergio et al, 2006)
•Lower incidence of PE (3Vs
30%)
Greater gestational age at
delivery
Higher birth wt
3. Calcium Supplementation
•Reduces the risk of PIH, particularly in
populations that have diets deficient in
calcium
level 1 evidence (Cochrane Syt review , 2006)
•The relationship between cal & risk of PIH is
inconsistent& inconclusive
The relationship between cal & the risk of PE
is highly unlikely.
Evidence-based review by FDA (2007)
4. Antihypertensive Drugs
•Mild to moderate hypertension:
Halving in the risk of developing severe
hypertension
No difference in the risk of developing PE or
proteinuria
(Cochrane syst review, 2007)
5. Diuretics
•No reduction in the incidence of PE or
perinatal mortality
•May have deleterious effects:
reduced renal & placental perfusion.
(Cochrane Library 2007 Issue 1:CD004451)
6. Antioxidant supplementation
may not affect risk of PE or
clinical outcomes
level 2 evidence
(Cochrane Library 2008 Issue
1:CD004227)
7. Concomitant Vit C& E supplementation
•{PET: imbalance of oxidant & antioxidant activity:
multiorgan endothelial dysfunction}.
•Vit C (1,000 mg/d) plus vit E (400 IU/ d)
•Did not prevent PE
level 2 evidence (Obstet Gynecol 2007 Dec;110(6):1311)
•May increases rate of LBW infants& might be
associated with higher rate of SB
level 2 evidence (Lancet 2006 Apr 8;367(9517):1145
8. Magnesium
•{Mg is beneficial for the prevention &
tt of severe PE & E
Decreased intracellular Mg in PE}
•No effect
•(365 mg& 500 mg).
Cochrane syst review, 2004
9. Folic acid& other B-vits
•{Deficiency of vit B2 may cause
biochemical changes simulating
abnormalities of PE}
•No evidence that any of B vits
can prevent PE
(Shrama& Mittal, 2006).
10. Zinc supplementation
•{Zinc concentrations are reduced in
PE}
•RCT: No benefit
(Jonsson et al, 1996)
11. Nitric oxide
Insufficient evidence for preventing
PE
Cochrane Library 2007 Issue 2:CD006490
12. Progesterone
Insufficient evidence for preventing
PE
Cochrane review, 2006
Conclusion
Regular antenatal care is mandatory for
the prevention & early detection of PE.
For prevention of PE
Bed rest
Reduction of job stress
High dietary fiber intake
Low dose aspirin
Low dose aspirin/heparin
Ca supplementation
