Table 3.

The differences in plasma sST2 concentration between normal pregnancy and preeclampsia as a function of the number of weeks before clinical diagnosis. The magnitude of differences (expressed as fold change between cases and controls) and corresponding significance p-values were estimated using linear mixed-effect models.
