Results The prevalence of various pregnancy complications was 8. 6% for birth prematurely, 9. 2% for hypertension or preeclampsia, IUGR 5. 8% and 7. 3% for loss pregnancy. PAPP A levels were lower in fetal loss group (P = 0. 005), vascular disease group(P = 0. 001) and preterm delivery group(P = 0. 001). In addition, a lower rate of bHCG was associated with the occurrence of placental pathologies such as growth retardation (P = 0. 037) and hypertension (P = 0. 034) and appears to have no predictive value in the occurrence of preterm birth (P = 0. 76) and fetal loss (P = 0. 189). Logistic regression analysis showed a significant predictive value of these markers.
