Mean arterial pressure for predicting preeclampsia in Asian women: a longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies suggested mean arterial pressure (MAP) had moderate predictive values in the first and second trimesters for the prediction of preeclampsia. However, the performance of MAP in Asian women is still unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the predictive values of MAP in Asian population throughout gestation, and to compare the performance of MAP, angiogenic factors and uterine artery Doppler in the prediction of preeclampsia.

Design

A prospective cohort study.

Setting

KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore.

Participants

A total of 926 women with singleton pregnancy less than 14 weeks of gestation were included in the prospective Neonatal and Obstetrics Risks Assessment cohort between September 2010 and October 2014. Maternal blood pressure levels, uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI), serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), placental growth factor (PlGF) and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio were measured at 11-14, 18-22, 28-32 and 34 weeks onward, respectively.

Primary and secondary outcomes

Preeclampsia was the main pregnancy outcome.

Results

A total of 20 women developed preeclampsia, who had significantly lower levels of PlGF, higher levels of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and MAP throughout pregnancy than women without preeclampsia. Compared with angiogenic factors and UtA-PI, MAP had significantly higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for predicting preeclampsia and term preeclampsia throughout gestation. For predicting preeclampsia, MAP had AUCs of 0.86 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.95), 0.87 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.95) and 0.91 (95% CI 0.85 to 0.98) at 11-14, 18-22 and 28-32 weeks, respectively. For predicting term preeclampsia, MAP yielded AUCs of 0.87 (95% CI 0.75 to 0.99), 0.87 (95% CI 0.76 to 0.98) and 0.90 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.99) at 11-14, 18-22 and 28-32 weeks, respectively. For predicting preterm preeclampsia, the performance of MAP and PlGF was similar.

Conclusion

MAP is a good predictor for preeclampsia, especially term preeclampsia, in Asian women.

Project description:BackgroundOne of the main goals of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is targeting an adequate mean arterial pressure (MAP) during heart surgery, in order to maintain appropriate perfusion pressures in all end-organs. As inheritance of early studies, a value of 50-60 mmHg has been historically accepted as the "gold standard" MAP. However, in the last decades, the CPB management has remarkably changed, thanks to the evolution of technology and the availability of new biomaterials. Therefore, as highlighted by the latest European Guidelines, the current management of CPB can no longer refer to those pioneering studies. To date, only few single-centre studies have compared different strategies of MAP management during CPB, but with contradictory findings and without achieving a real consensus. Therefore, what should be the ideal strategy of MAP management during CPB is still on debate. This trial is the first multicentre, randomized, controlled study which compares three different strategies of MAP management during the CPB.MethodsWe described herein the methodology of a multicentre, randomized, controlled trial comparing three different approaches to MAP management during CPB in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery: the historically accepted "standard MAP" (50-60 mmHg), the "high MAP" (70-80 mmHg) and the "patient-tailored MAP" (comparable to the patient's preoperative MAP). It is the aim of the study to find the most suitable management in order to obtain the most adequate perfusion of end-organs during cardiac surgery. For this purpose, the primary endpoint will be the peak of serum lactate (Lmax) released during CPB, as index of tissue hypoxia. The secondary outcomes will include all the intraoperative parameters of tissue oxygenation and major postoperative complications related to organ malperfusion.DiscussionThis trial will assess the best strategy to target the MAP during CPB, thus further improving the outcomes of cardiac surgery.Trial registrationNCT05740397 (retrospectively registered; 22/02/2023).

Project description:IntroductionBecause of disturbed renal autoregulation, patients experiencing hypotension-induced renal insult might need higher levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP) than the 65 mmHg recommended level in order to avoid the progression of acute kidney insufficiency (AKI).MethodsIn 217 patients with sustained hypotension, enrolled and followed prospectively, we compared the evolution of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) during the first 24 hours between patients who will show AKI 72 hours after inclusion (AKIh72) and patients who will not. AKIh72 was defined as the need of renal replacement therapy or "Injury" or "Failure" classes of the 5-stage RIFLE classification (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, End-stage renal disease) for acute kidney insufficiency using the creatinine and urine output criteria. This comparison was performed in four different subgroups of patients according to the presence or not of AKI at the sixth hour after inclusion (AKIh6 as defined as a serum creatinine level above 1.5 times baseline value within the first six hours) and the presence or not of septic shock at inclusion.The ability of MAP averaged over H6 to H24 to predict AKIh72 was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared between groups.ResultsThe MAP averaged over H6 to H24 or over H12 to H24 was significantly lower in patients who showed AKIh72 than in those who did not, only in septic shock patients with AKIh6, whereas no link was found between MAP and AKIh72 in the three others subgroups of patients. In patients with septic shock plus AKIh6, MAP averaged over H6 to H24 or over H12 to H24 had an AUC of 0.83 (0.72 to 0.92) or 0.84 (0.72 to 0.92), respectively, to predict AKIh72 . In these patients, the best level of MAP to prevent AKIh72 was between 72 and 82 mmHg.ConclusionsMAP about 72 to 82 mmHg could be necessary to avoid acute kidney insufficiency in patients with septic shock and initial renal function impairment.

Project description:Objective: To determine blood pressure (BP) patterns in the immediate postpartum period in preeclampsia with severe features (sPE) and normotensive pregnant women who had cesarean deliveries (CD).Study design: The BP levels of two groups comprising 50 sPE and 90 normotensive pregnant women who had CD were measured before delivery and on days 0-3 postpartum at four time points (05:00, 08:00, 14:00, and 22:00). Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PIGF) were measured in the maternal serum ≤48 h before delivery.Results: Antihypertensive therapy was administered to 98, 96, 82, 78, and 56% of sPE antepartum and on postpartum days 0-3, respectively. De novo postpartum hypertension (BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg) occurred in 24.4% (22/90) of the normotensive group but only one required antihypertensive therapy. The occurrence of de novo postpartum hypertension was associated with maternal weight before delivery ≥ 84.5 kg (relative risks (RR) 2.6, CI 95% 1.2-5.8, p = .017), and body mass index before delivery ≥ 33.3 kg/m2 (RR 2.9, CI 95% 1.3-6.4, p = .008). In sPE, the BP decreased between predelivery period and postpartum day 0. From days 1 to 3 postpartum, there was a continuous increase in the daily mean BPs in both groups, with average daily increments (systolic/diastolic) being 5.6/4.6 mmHg and 0.6/1.3 mmHg in the sPE and normotensive women, respectively. Patient's group and time had a significant effect on BP, p < .001. Overall, daily mean BPs were higher in the sPE than the normotensive group (p < .001). Perceived stress (p = .022), low birth weight (p = .002), 5 min Apgar score ≤ 6 (p < .001) were significantly higher in the sPE group. sFlt-1/PIGF ratio was high in the hypertensive groups: sPE versus normotensive group, p < .001; de novo postpartum hypertension versus normotensives group that remained normotensive, p = .102.Conclusion: Postpartum BP and antihypertensive requirements are important considerations in managing sPE and normotensive pregnancies. sPE is associated with increased maternal stress and poor perinatal outcomes.
