• First trimester (pregnancy-associated placental protein-A [PAPP-A])
• second trimester (total hCG and alpha fetoprotein [AFP]) serum biochemistry were determined.The two screening periods were compared for the prediction of a range of severe adverse perinatal outcomes (intrauterine growth restriction [IUGR], abruption, severe pre-eclampsia/HELLP syndrome, delivery < 32 weeks, or stillbirth).
• MRI is a complementary technique that should be considered when ultrasound is inconclusive or incomplete.
