Models were adjusted for urinary specific gravity and gestational age at sample collection and included random intercepts and slopes for each study subject. Abbreviations: sFlt-1, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1; PlGF, placental growth factor. Note: P-values were not corrected for multiple comparisons.
