| Summary: | BackgroundPreeclampsia (PE) is one of the most severe pregnancy-related diseases; however, there is still a lack of reliable biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to develop models for predicting early-onset PE, severe PE, and the gestation duration of patients with PE.MethodsEligible patients with PE were enrolled and divided into a training (n = 253) and a validation (n = 108) cohort. Multivariate logistic and Cox models were used to identify factors associated with early-onset PE, severe PE, and the gestation duration of patients with PE. Based on significant factors, nomograms were developed and evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) and a calibration curve.ResultsIn the training cohort, multiple gravidity experience (p = 0.005), lower albumin (ALB; p < 0.001), and higher lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with early-onset PE. Abortion history (p = 0.017), prolonged thrombin time (TT; p < 0.001), and higher aspartate aminotransferase (p = 0.002) and LDH (p = 0.003) were significantly associated with severe PE. Abortion history (p < 0.001), gemellary pregnancy (p < 0.001), prolonged TT (p < 0.001), higher mean platelet volume (p = 0.014) and LDH (p < 0.001), and lower ALB (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with shorter gestation duration. Three nomograms were developed and validated to predict the probability of early-onset PE, severe PE, and delivery time for each patient with PE. The AUC showed good predictive performance, and the calibration curve and decision curve analysis demonstrated clinical practicability.ConclusionBased on the clinical features and peripheral blood laboratory indicators, we identified significant factors and developed models to predict early-onset PE, severe PE, and the gestation duration of pregnant women with PE, which could help clinicians assess the clinical outcomes early and design appropriate strategies for patients.
