Objective To investigate the clinical value of serum activin A,endoglin combined with uterine artery pulsatility index in predicting preeclampsia.Methods One hundred cases pregnant women who were admitted to the obstetrics clinic of Longhua New District People′s Hospital in Shenzhen from December 2016 to July 2017 were selected ,50 cases of preeclampsia were in the observation group,and another 50 cases of healthy pregnant women were in the control group.Serum activin A,endoglin and uterine artery pulsatility index ( UAPI ) were measured at 11 ~ 13 weeks respectively.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of activin A,endoglin and UAPI in different gestational weeks separately and jointly in predicting preeclampsia.Results At 11~13 weeks of pregnancy, the serum activin A((379.98±153.80)ng/L],endoglin((9.87 g±1.62)μg/L) and UAPI (0.97±0.09) in the observation group were significantly higher than in the control group ((205.45±93.29)ng/L,(6.61 ±1.54)μg/L, ( 0.82 ± 0.15 )), and the difference was statistically significant ( all P< 0.05 ).The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum activin A, endoglin level and UAPI in early pregnancy were the risk factors for preeclampsia ( all P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the joint prediction of activin A, endoglin and UAPI in different gestational weeks was better than that in single detection.The maximum area (AUC) of the joint prediction of activin A,endoglin and UAPI at pregnant 11~13 weeks was 0.969, the sensitivity was 82.0%, and the specificity was 100.0%.Conclusion The combined detection of serum activin A, endothelial factor and uterine artery pulsation index in early pregnancy can be used to predict preeclampsia with high sensitivity and specificity,and can be used as a clinical index to predict preeclampsia.
