Summary

This study looked at whether measuring a protein called EG-VEGF in the blood of pregnant women between 14 and 18 weeks could help predict pre-eclampsia or intrauterine growth restriction (poor fetal growth). Researchers enrolled 142 women and measured EG-VEGF levels, comparing them to pregnancy outcomes. The goal is to find a simple blood test that flags high-risk pregnancies early, allowing for closer monitoring and better care.
