PREGNANCY-INDUCED HYPERTENSION, PRE-ECLAMPSIA
Maternal s-PROK1 in the second trimester did not predict pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia or late miscarriage/preterm delivery in women with PCOS. However, s-PROK1 was lower in women who used metformin before inclusion, both in those randomised to metformin and to placebo, compared with those who did not. s-PROK1 was also lower in those who used metformin both at conception and during pregnancy compared with those who used metformin from inclusion or did not use metformin at all. s-PROK1 was lower in hyperandrogenic compared with normo-androgenic women with PCOS.
