Impact of maternal serum levels of Visfatin, AFP, PAPP-A, sFlt-1 and PlGF at 11 – 13 weeks gestation on small for gestational age births

Purpose: Investigating potential value of maternal serum Visfatin, sFlt-1, PlGF, AFP, PAPP-A levels at first trimester for prediction of small for gestational age (SGA) at birth. Materials and methods: Measurements were performed in 20 SGA and 65 control cases. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and weeks of pregnancy at data collection was performed to estimate odds ratios (OR), 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and p-values separately for each potential predictor. A multiple regression model was used to assess the impact of all promising predictors adjusted for each other. Receiver operating charact…
