  1. Breakout of N=89 subjects by three placental growth factor groups (normal is PlGF≥100, low is 12<PlGF<100, and very low is PlGF≤12) and fetal flow (abnormal vs normal). The breakout by preterm delivery and IUGR shows the number and percent (relative to n) for each category. The p-values are from a two-tailed Fisher Exact test of the 2×2 contingency table (with PlGF Low and Very Low grouped together) for each outcome (preterm and IUGR) in the subset with normal fetal flow.
