Can a blood test or eye scan predict pregnancy risks?
NCT ID NCT07669935
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow 5,500 first-time pregnant women to see if blood tests and eye scans can predict complications like preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and gestational diabetes. Researchers will collect samples and images at different points during pregnancy and compare them to health outcomes. The goal is to develop better ways to identify high-risk pregnancies early.
