MoM cutoffs for variables, an important tool for multivariate analysis and accurate interpretation of preeclampsia risk in high-risk pregnancy at 11-13(+6) weeks gestation.

CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated 96.6% diagnostic accuracy of the multi-variable screening test to predict the risk of PE in the first trimester. The negative predictive value (>98%) reinforces the utility of cost-effective noninvasive screening test for the early detection of PE.
