Virtual Organ Computer-aided Analysis (VOCAL) technique. Logis-
tic regression models using PET as the outcome were determined
for each PVI. Covariates included: study group, age, BMI, smoking
status, aspirin use, parity, material deprivation of area of residence
and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP).
Results: The overall rate of PET was 12%. No significant differences
in age, smoking status, deprivation or MAP were seen between
groups. Significant differences in parity (P=0.002), BMI (P<0.001)
and aspirin use (P<0.001) were noted. In the logistic regression
model, a 1% increase in VI from a mean of 14.2 (SD 7.7) to 15.2%
was associated with a 10% reduction in the odds of PET (OR 0.90,
95% CI 0.82-0.98, P=0.02) and a 1 unit increase in FI (mean 42.1,
SD 10.3) was associated with a 6% reduction in the odds of PET
(OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.89-1.0, P=0.04). A doubling in VFI (median
5.1, IQR 3.4-8.3) was associated with a 57% reduction in the odds
of PET (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.26-0.70, P=0.001).
Conclusions: Using logistic regression, VI, FI and VFI were
predictive of PET in separate models controlling for confounding
variables. This technique may be a useful adjunct for clinicians
wishing to refine first trimester screening models to predict PET.

markers at first trimester among Mongolian pregnant women

Maternal and Child Health of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia
Objectives Screening and assessment of pre-eclampsia by PAPP-A,
PlGF, MAP, and mPI at first trimester of gestation.
Methods: The study conducted among 361 singleton pregnant
women at 11-13
+6
weeks, who were visiting antenatal care services,
between March, 2015 and January, 2016. The cross sectional study
design was used to implement this study. The ethical norms of
biomedical research were applied throughout the course of study.
The PlGF, PAPP-A in plasma were identified by PerkinElmer kits,
uterine artery pulsatility index measured by GE ultrasound machine,
the blood pressure was measured twice, in each arm of pregnant
woman, by Omron blood pressure monitor.
Results: The PIGF level of the group with pre-eclampsia compli-
cations was 38.6±19.6 pg/ml, in the group without pre-eclampsia
level was 45.1±24.0 pg/ml (p=0.010), while PAPP-A concentra-
tion in the group with pre-eclampsia was 366.1±195.3 mU/L and
633.6±496.9 mU/L (p=0.003) in the group without pre-eclampsia.
MAP 80.1-100 mm Hg group had 20.6 times higher risk of
pre-eclampsia in compare to MAP normal group (OR 20.6, CI 95%
2.8-152.1, p=0.003). No significant differences observed in mPI of
both groups (p=0.222).
The logistic regression analysis shows that pregnant women
previous without pre-eclampsia but have MAP more than 80mm
Hg, PAPP-A less than 330 mU/L and PIGF less than 35pg/ml or have
three risk factors of pre-eclampsia (OR 8.12 p=0.018) have higher
level of pre-eclampsia compared to women with 1 or 2 risk factors
(OR 3.54-5.65).
Conclusions: In the groups of pregnant women with pre-eclampsia,
the levels of PlGF, PAPP-A are lower compared to those, who have
no pre-eclampsia. The level of risk of pre-eclampsia for women
without previous pre-eclampsia depends on the number of risk
factors.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to learn a role of
cerebro-placental ratio and cardiothoracic ratio in the degree of
perinatal risk determination.
Methods: Antenatal US examinations were performed in 1448
fetuses with a high perinatal risk. The study included Doppler
assessment of placental profile and fetal cardiovascular profile.
Pregnancy outcomes and neonatal status were studied. Postnatal
results were classified as adverse general postnatal outcome which
meant perinatal or infant death and adverse clinical postnatal
outcome which meant perinatal acidemia, Apgar score of 0–4
points, persistent pathological condition of the newborn. All the
fetuses of the studied cohort were divided into two clinical groups:
638 fetuses with poor general postnatal outcome and/or clinical
postnatal outcome (I group) and 810 fetuses with favourable clinical
postnatal outcome (II group).
Results: The most significant differences occurred at the frequency
of registration ductus venosus (DV) a-reverse wave, p<0.01. The
increased cardio-thoracic ratio (CTR) occurred in fetuses of group I
9 times more frequent than of group II. The cerebroplacental ratio
(CPR) reduction occurred 18 times, the prevalence of reverse flow
component of the fetal aortic isthmus 6,2 times and the deepening
of ductus venosus myocardial isovolumetric relaxation phase in
the group I were registered 21 times more often than in group II,
however these differences did not have statistical significance due to
the small number of observations.
Conclusions: Taking into account the limited possibilities of single
centre study should be considered as necessary further multicentre
studies of the role of fetal CTR and CPR as predictors of adverse
pregnancy outcomes, in order to include these aspects in obstetrical
management protocols of high perinatal risk fetuses monitoring to
determine the perinatal risk degree ant to choose the best point for
delivery.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore an eventual
association between blood flow measured by PixelFlux in second
trimester and fetal weight gain/day.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in 47 women
with single pregnancies in week 24. PixelFlux is a new method based
on pixelwise calculation of spatially angle-corrected velocities and
areas of all pixels inside a vessel. Velocity is coded by colour, and
by comparing the colour of each pixel in the cross-sectional area
with the preset colour bar, it is possible to measure blood flow
velocities directly. Then, all pixels’ flow volumes inside a vessels
section are added to calculate the flow volume of the vessel during
a heart cycle. Fetal weight in the second trimester was estimated
