Data are represented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was assessed by unpaired Student’s t test or Mann–Whitney test. CTR, control; EO-PE, early-onset preeclampsia, BMI, body mass index; SP, spontaneous delivery; CS, caesarean section; sFlt-1, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1; PlGF, placental growth factor.
