Reference range of placental growth factors at 11-14 weeks' gestation in Indonesia.

To develop a reference chart for placental growth factor (PLGF) value during 11-14 weeks' gestation in Indonesian population. This was an observational study observing women in their first trimester. Maternal characteristics, biophysical tests, and serum PLGF levels were collected during the visit. PLGF Multiple of Median (MoM) was adjusted for maternal characteristics including age, parity, smoking habits, diabetes mellitus, weight, height, body mass index, gestational age, and crown-rump length (CRL) utilizing the linear regression analysis. Plot distributions of PLGF level and PLGF MoM adjusted to CRL were developed using logistic regression technique. Out of 2.062 consecutive women undergoing 11-14 weeks' gestation ultrasound screening, the median of PLGF level and PLGF MoM were 50.38 pg/ml (1.09-265.20 pg/ml) and 1.00 (0.02-4.80), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, PLGF MoM was not significantly influenced by maternal factors such as age, parity, smoking habit, diabetes mellitus, height, weight, and BMI. The adjusted PLGF MoM reference chart according to the CRL was developed using quadratic linear regression. PLGF levels at 11-14 weeks' gestation were notably influenced by CRL but not by maternal characteristics. The usefulness of this parameter in combining with other established markers as a screening tool for the Indonesian population basis requires further investigation. Copyright © 2023.
