Researchers evaluate effectiveness of placental growth factor measurement in mid-pregnancy

A new study led by Professor Laura Magee, has found that among pregnancies with clinical risk factors for pre-eclampsia or fetal growth restriction, measuring serum placental growth factor (PlGF) at the time of the routine 20-week fetal ultrasound scan is not helpful to inform clinical care pathways. The work is published in the BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology.
