Adverse outcomes were considered if they occurred within 2 weeks of presentation. S/P= sFlt1/PlGF ratio. Sample sizes and percents for each tertile represent the number of adverse outcomes and the percent of adverse outcomes from all those classified in a tertile.

*

In non-proteinuric participants presenting at less than 34 weeks, the reference odds ratio is the incidence of adverse outcome in tertiles 1 and 2 combined.
