Abstract
Accuracy of circulating placental growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and soluble endoglin in the prediction of pre-eclampsia: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BJOG 2012;119:778–787.Background Biomarkers have been proposed for identification of women at increased risk of developing pre-eclampsia.Objectives To investigate the capacity of circulating placental growth factor (PlGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT1) and soluble endoglin (sENG) to predict pre-eclampsia.Search strategy Medline and Embase through October 2010 and reference lists of reviews, without constraints.Selection criteria We included original publications on testing of PlGF, VEGF, sFLT1 and sENG in serum or plasma of pregnant women at
