The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for combined approach was 86.9% (p<0.001, 95% CI 78.7–95.0) compared with AUC for sFlt-1/PlGF ratio alone 74.8% (p<0.001, 95% CI 63.3–86.3) to predict preeclampsia, the test having high sensitivity (84.6%) and specificity (87.4%) to predict low Apgar score at 5 minutes. Here, PGF is linked to preeclampsia.
