Summary

This study tests whether a blood test measuring the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio can help doctors decide the best time to deliver babies in women with severe early-onset preeclampsia. The trial will include 386 pregnant women between 30 and 34 weeks of gestation. Half will have delivery timing guided by the test results, while the other half will receive standard care. The goal is to reduce serious complications for both mothers and newborns.
