Objective. To develop the best screening model for preeclampsia (PE) based on maternal characteristics, biomarkers with 3D power Doppler of placental bed vascularization. Materials and methods. A prospective nonintervention cohort study. Patients who presented for combined screening were measured/recorded at 11-13+6 weeks maternal characteristics, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), uterine artery Doppler pulsatility indices (UtA-PI), 3D power Doppler of placental bed vascularization indices (PB-VI) and VOCAL technology, maternal serum placental growth factor (PlGF) Logistic regression analysis was used to predict PE. Results. We screened 5157 pregnant women of whom 3424 (66,4%) were available for analysis. In all, 102 (3,0%) developed PE, with 29 (0,9%) having early-onset PE and 73 (2,1%) having late-onset PE. The best model for early PE (n=29) and late PE (n=73) included maternal risk factors, MAP, PlGF and PB-VI achieving detection rates of 89,7% (AUC 0,941; CI: 0,944-0,978) and 50,7% (AUC 0,833; 95% CI: 0,800-0,863) for 10% of false-positive rates. There was no significant improvement when adding PAPP-A, uterine artery Doppler values, or both. Conclusions. Preeclampsia can be predicted with high accuracy in low risk population by combined algorithms with vascularization indices of placental bed using 3D power Doppler angiography. Among Doppler parameters as PB-VI and UtA-PI, improve the prediction for early and late PE, and PB-VI vs UtA-PI detects significantly higher rates of early PE. The data need confirmation in larger studies.
