  1. Concentrations (geometric mean, 95% confidence interval) of placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (sFlt1), and sFlt1/PlGF ratio at 12 + 0 to 14 + 0, 18 + 0 to 20 + 0, and 26 + 0 to 28 + 0 weeks of gestation in early-onset (N = 6), late-onset preeclampsia (N = 21), in controls with risk-factors (N = 26), and in healthy controls without known risk-factors (N = 53).
  2. * p < 0.05 compared to late onset preeclampsia, controls with risk factors and heathy control groups.
  3. ‡ p < 0.05 compared to healthy controls.
  4. Early-onset preeclampsia is diagnosed before 34 completed weeks of gestation.
  5. Late-onset preeclampsia is diagnosed after 34 completed weeks of gestation.
