- Abstract
A prospective cohort study was carried out to evaluate the role of early second trimester high sensitivity C - reactive protein for prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Total 150 early second trimester primigravidae were analyzed for serum hsCRP level which was measured by immunoturbidimetry assay and followed till delivery. A statistically significant correlation was found between elevated serum hsCRP concentrations in early second trimester primigravidae and adverse pregnancy outcomes like preterm delivery and pregnancy induce hypertension (p<0.001). This study reveals that elevated serum hsCRP concentration observed in early second trimester primigravida could help to predict adverse maternal and fetal outcomes and if timely preventive prophylactic therapies are tried, would help to prevent morbidity and mortality due to pregnancy disorders.
