Overview

Prospective study shows lateral placentation linked to higher pre-eclampsia rates in pregnancies, suggesting early screening implications.

Key Points

  • To assess if placental laterality during mid-trimester can predict pre-eclampsia development.
  • Prospective longitudinal study involving 200 pregnant women aged 18-24 weeks.
  • Ultrasonography classified placental locations as central or lateral.
  • Follow-up until delivery to monitor for pre-eclampsia development.
  • Statistical analysis using Chi-square test and odds ratios.
  • 32.5% of participants developed pre-eclampsia by study's end.
  • 60.5% of lateral placentation group developed pre-eclampsia compared to 26% of central group.
  • Lateral placentation had an odds ratio of 4.38 for developing pre-eclampsia.
