First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a unified first trimester screening approach to predict serious pregnancy complications like preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, and birth defects. Researchers will enroll 2,000 pregnant women in the Czech Republic to see if combining standard tests can better identify those at risk. The goal is to create a national screening program linked to health records.
