A Next Generation point-of Care Urine Test (CercaTestTM Red) for Prediction of Preeclampsia in Women With Suspected Preeclampsia
A Next Generation point-of Care Urine Test (CercaTestTM Red) for Prediction of Preeclampsia in Women With Suspected Preeclampsia
The goal of this observational study is to predict preeclampsia in pregnant women aged 18 years or older with a singleton pregnancy at 20 or more weeks of gestation who present with suspected signs or symptoms of preeclampsia. The main questions it aims to answer is:
- Can a next-generation point-of-care urine test (CercaTest™ Red) accurately predict preeclampsia in women with suspected preeclampsia? Participants will be informed and asked to sign a written consent to participate in the study. Complete standard clinical assessments for suspected preeclampsia, including evaluations for new-onset hypertension, proteinuria, maternal end-organ dysfunction, or uteroplacental dysfunction. A urine sample is required to be evaluated using the CercaTest™ Red point-of-care diagnostic test.
This is a prospective, multicentre, double-blinded, non-interventional cohort study conducted in tertiary obstetrics units. The study aims to evaluate the predictive performance of a next-generation point-of-care urine test, CercaTest™ Red, for ruling out the development of preeclampsia (PE) within one week of testing in Asian women with suspected PE. Additionally, the study will assess the test's predictive performance for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes and will develop a short-term prediction model combining CercaTest™ Red results with other clinical parameters.
