PRE-ECLAMPSIA

This study tested whether a stricter blood pressure goal (below 135/85) after a pregnancy complicated by high blood pressure is better than the usual care (below 150/100). About 60 new mothers were enrolled and followed for six months. The goal is to see if tighter control is pos…

This trial tested a program where community health workers used a tablet app to screen pregnant women in rural India for anemia, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Over 3,400 women took part. The goal was to see if this screening and referral system could lower anemia rates and i…

This study uses a non-invasive ultrasound called transcranial Doppler (TCD) to measure blood flow in the brains of pregnant women with preeclampsia. Researchers will compare 50 women with preeclampsia to 50 healthy pregnant women to see if TCD can detect early signs of serious co…

This study looked at whether measuring homocysteine levels in the blood can help predict how severe preeclampsia will become in pregnant women. Researchers measured homocysteine in 70 critically ill preeclampsia patients and analyzed its link to complications. The goal is to see …

This study looked at whether a protein called EG-VEGF in the blood of pregnant women could predict pre-eclampsia or poor fetal growth. Researchers took blood samples and performed ultrasound scans on 142 women early in pregnancy. The goal was to see if EG-VEGF levels could serve …

This study looked at whether a blood test measuring the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio can help doctors decide if women with suspected pre-eclampsia need to be hospitalized. Pre-eclampsia is a serious pregnancy condition that can harm both mother and baby, but diagnosing it is tricky. The stu…

This study tested whether taking a low-dose aspirin (160 mg) each night, starting before 16 weeks of pregnancy, could prevent pre-eclampsia and small babies in first-time mothers at high risk. Over 1,100 women with abnormal blood flow in the uterine artery were randomly assigned …

This study looked at 89 obese pregnant women to find out how common sleep apnea is and whether it is linked to high blood pressure, preeclampsia, or poor fetal outcomes. Participants had a sleep test (polysomnography) to detect apnea. The goal was to understand the connection and…

This study looked at how certain immune cells (neutrophils) form web-like structures in women with preeclampsia compared to those with normal pregnancies. Researchers analyzed stored blood samples from 26 women to understand two different ways these webs are made. The goal was to…

This study measured certain proteins (histones and HMGB1) in the blood of 115 pregnant women to see if they could help detect placenta-related complications like pre-eclampsia. Researchers compared women with normal pregnancies, those with complications, and healthy non-pregnant …

This study measured the amount of free-floating DNA and nucleosomes in the blood of 137 women to see if these levels differ between those with pregnancy complications (like preeclampsia or blood clots) and healthy women (both pregnant and non-pregnant). The goal was to better und…
