Key takeaways
- Insight into the clinical evidence supporting the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for short-term preeclampsia risk assessment and its role in practice
- Practical understanding of how to interpret the Elecsys sFlt-1/PlGF ratio to help identify severe preeclampsia and potential adverse outcomes
- Strategies for integrating angiogenic biomarkers with standard assessments to enhance patient monitoring, management, and resource optimization
Advancing Preeclampsia Risk Assessment: Integrating the sFlt-1/PlGF Ratio into Clinical Practice (01:01:12)
Preeclampsia affects millions of women each year, yet predicting which patients will progress to severe outcomes remains a challenge.1 In this session, hear from Sarosh Rana, MD, MPH; S. Ananth Karumanchi, MD; and Allyson Kozak, PhD, MBA, NRCC will review the clinical evidence behind the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and demonstrate how angiogenic biomarkers are being applied in real-world care to support more informed, timely decision-making.
