Insights
The Indonesian Prenatal Institute (IPI) model shows comparable performance to the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) model and outperforms the Maternal and Children Health Handbook (MCH-HB) model for predicting preeclampsia (PE). This finding aids in selecting effective PE screening tools.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Maternal-Fetal Medicine
- Public Health
Background:
- Preeclampsia (PE) poses significant risks to maternal and fetal well-being.
- Accurate prediction models are crucial for timely intervention and improved outcomes.
- Existing models like FMF, MCH-HB, and IPI require comparative evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the predictive performance of three distinct models for preeclampsia (PE).
- To evaluate the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF), Indonesian Maternal and Children Health Handbook (MCH-HB), and Indonesian Prenatal Institute (IPI) algorithms.
- To assess model efficacy across different PE classifications (all, early-onset, preterm).
Main Methods:
- Maternal risk factors, biophysical, and biochemical markers were collected at 11-14 weeks gestation.
- Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was employed.
- Detection rates (DR) at a 10% false-positive rate (FPR) were compared across models.
Main Results:
- For all PE, IPI (66.9%) and FMF (62.9%) showed higher DR than MCH-HB (50.0%) at 10% FPR.
- For early-onset PE, IPI (81.5%) and FMF (80.3%) outperformed MCH-HB (71.4%).
- For preterm PE, IPI (66.9%) and FMF (70.2%) demonstrated superior DR compared to MCH-HB (38.5%).
Conclusions:
- The IPI algorithm demonstrates predictive performance comparable to the FMF model.
- The IPI model significantly outperforms the MCH-HB model for predicting all, early-onset, and preterm PE.
- These findings support the utility of the IPI algorithm in PE screening protocols.
Introduction:
This study aimed to compare Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF), Indonesian Maternal and Children Health Handbook (MCH-HB), and Indonesian Prenatal Institute (IPI) models for predicting PE.
Materials/Subjects And Methods:
Maternal risk factors, biophysical, and biochemical markers were recorded from women screened for PE at 11-14 gestational weeks. The receiving operator curve (ROC) analysis was used to compare the detection rate (DR) among prediction models.
Results:
For all PE at a 10% false-positive rate (FPR), FMF had a DR 62.9%; MCH-HB had a DR 50.0%; IPI had a DR 66.9%. For early-onset PE, at 10% FPR FMF had a DR 80.3%; MCH-HB had a DR 71.4%; IPI had a DR 81.5%. For preterm PE at 10% FPR, FMF had a DR 70.2%; MCH-HB had a DR 38.5%; IPI had a DR 66.9%.
Discussion:
IPI algorithm is comparable to FMF and outperforms MCH-HB algorithm for all, early-onset, and preterm PE screening.
