Methods of predicting pre term birth from preeclampsia using metabolic and protein biomarkers

摘要

A computer implemented method of early prediction of risk of a pregnancy outcome in a pregnant woman, comprising the steps of: inputting into a computational model values for a panel of a plurality of preeclampsia specific biomarkers comprising at least one metabolite, and optionally at least one protein or clinical risk factor, selected from Table 1, in which the values are obtained from the pregnant woman early in pregnancy; selecting a subset of inputted values comprising a value for at least one metabolite and optionally at least one protein or clinical risk factor value, based on a selected pregnancy outcome selected from pre-term preeclampsia, term preeclampsia and all preeclampsia; calculating a predicted risk of the selected pregnancy outcome based on the subset of inputted values; and outputting the predicted risk of the pregnancy outcome for the pregnant woman.
