Increase of augmentation index (AIx@75): a promising tool for screening hypertensive pregnancy disorders
AIx@75 was significantly higher in PG compared to NPG. We compared the AIx@75 of PG with and without outcomes. ROC curve analysis showed that this index could discriminate between PG with and without an outcome. Differently, the MUA-PI did not differ between PG with and without outcome, suggesting the superiority of AIx@75 in relation to MUA-PI as a method of screening in the first trimester for hypertensive disease of pregnancy. AIx@75 did not assotiate with MUA-PI. Prospective studies will be needed to confirm these findings.
