About this trial

The Biobank includes data and biological specimens of women from three original studies: 1) First-trimester Prediction of Preeclampsia (PREDICTION Study, NCT02189148), 2) Pre-Eclampsia And growth Retardation, an evaluative Longitudinal study (PEARL Study, NCT02379832), 3) Effect of Low Dose Aspirin on Birthweight in Twins: The GAP Trial (NCT02280031) and 4)PREDICTION2: Prediction of Preeclampsia and other Pregnancy Complications Following Combined Iterative Screening.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

early onset preeclampsia

Preeclampsia will be defined according to the Canadian Guidelines for Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Management of the Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy guidelines, as de novo hypertension with diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg on two occasions at least four hours apart, after 20 weeks of pregnancy, associated with proteinuria ≥300 mg/24 h or at least '2 +' protein on urine dipstick or an adverse conditions

Time frame
diagnosed between 20 and 34 weeks of gestation

Secondary outcomes

1

Severe preeclampsia

Severe Preeclampsia will be defined by the presence of at least one of the following adverse condition: 1) systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg after 4 h of bed rest, 2) proteinuria ≥ 5 g/24 h or at least '3 +' protein on urine dipstick, or 3) oliguria \< 400 ml/24 h; 4) cerebral or visual disturbances; epigastric pain; pulmonary edema or cyanosis; thrombocytopenia \<100,000mm

Time frame
between 20 and 42 weeks of gestation
2

Fetal growth restriction

Fetal growth restriction will be defined as a birth weight below the 10th centile (or below the 3rd centile for severe FGR) of Canadian reference growth charts.

Time frame
between 20 and 42 weeks of gestation
3

spontaneous preterm birth

sPTB is a birth occuring spontaneously between 20 and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation

Time frame
between 20 and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation
4

Fetal aneuploidies

Any fetal chromosome that has an abnormal number of copies. Example: trisomy 13, 18 or 21.

Time frame
