Background:
The prediction of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) mainly involves various aspects such as maternal characteristics and biomarkers.
Objective:
We aimed to study the effect of the HDP prediction model with or without placental growth factor (PlGF).
Methods:
This study used maternal factors and PlGF, and standardized the data uniformly. At 12-20 weeks, the comprehensive comparison of model quality with or without PlGF was conducted by logistic regression.
Results:
The area under curve and the model accuracy of the model with PlGF were higher than those of the model without PlGF. The accuracy of the model with PlGF was above 90%.
Conclusions:
Adding PlGF to the model for predicting HDP improved the accuracy and effectiveness of the model. This study confirmed the predictive performance of PlGF.

Gonadal and Placental Hormones
In males, testosterone is the primary gonadal androgen. It plays a central role in the maturation of male reproductive organs — the penis and testes. Additionally, testosterone is instrumental in the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a deep voice as well as facial and pubic hair...
