Prediction of preeclampsia based on urinary metabolites and maternal characteristics in logistic regression.

Variable AUC (95% CI) Sensitivity (%) a PPV NPV p-Value b
Hippurate/creatinine ratio c 0.694 (0.595–0.793) 0.192 0.082 0.960 0.004

Metabolites, MAP, age d 0.778 (0.695–0.862) 0.423 0.164 0.971 <0.001

Abbreviations: AUC, area under the receiver operator characteristic curve; CI, confidence interval; MAP, mean arterial pressure at enrolment; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value; UtAPI; uterine artery pulsatility index at enrolment. a Sensitivity is given at 10% false discovery rate; b Omnibus chi-square significance level of the model; c Metabolites were chosen based on selection in the multivariate models and the metabolite/creatinine ratios used in logistic regression. The final metabolites selected were hippurate/creatinine ratio in urine; d Women with maternal age <20 or >35 were categorised as high risk.
