    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Hypertension of pregnancy, including pre-eclampsia, is a significant complication.
    • Early detection is crucial for effective management and improved maternal outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the roll-over test for predicting hypertension of pregnancy.
    • To determine the test's sensitivity, specificity, and false-positive/negative rates.

    Main Methods:

    • One hundred nulliparous, normotensive women were tested between 28-32 weeks' gestation.
    • The roll-over test was performed, and subsequent development of hypertension was monitored.
    • Participants were categorized based on test results and pregnancy outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • A positive roll-over test had a 16% false-positive rate.
    • A negative roll-over test had a 10% false-negative rate, with no pre-eclampsia developing in this group.
    • The test demonstrated potential for early identification of at-risk pregnancies.

    Conclusions:

    • The roll-over test is a valuable tool for the early diagnosis of hypertension of pregnancy.
    • Routine screening with the roll-over test between 28-32 weeks' gestation is recommended.
