Brief summary
Multiple micronutrients play an important role during pregnancy, since the decidualization and implantation phases. It has an impact on placentation and remodeling of blood vessels. The optimal early pregnancy conditions accompanied by great angiogenesis and vasculogenesis factors will influence fetal growth. This study aims to determine the effect of maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation on angiogenesis factors, vasculogenesis factors, and fetal biometry. It is a clustered randomized controlled trial that aims to determine the impact of maternal micronutrient supplementation on PlGF levels, sFlt-1/PlGF ratio, mean pulsatility index of uterine artery, and fetal biometry (head circumference, femur length, and estimated fetal weight percentile). The target population for the study was all pregnant women who underwent antenatal check-ups at community health centers in DKI Jakarta.
Interventions

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sFlt-1/PlGF ratio | 20-26 weeks of gestation | Examination of the balance of angiogenesis factors in both groups, using venous blood to measure the ratio of soluble fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-1 to Placental Growth Factor (s-Flt-1/PlGF), |
| mean pulsatility index of uterine artery | 1. Trimester 1 : 8-14 weeks. 2. Trimester 2 : 20-26 weeks. | Examination of vasculogenesis factors by measuring the mean Pulsatility Index of bilateral uterine arteries |
| Head circumference | 20-26 weeks of gestation | Head circumference based on ultrasonography |
| PlGF levels | It was carried out at gestational age: 1. Trimester 1: 8-14 weeks. 2. Trimester 2: 20-26 weeks. | Examination of angiogenesis factors in both research groups, using venous blood to measure Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) levels |
| Femur length | 20-26 weeks of gestation | Femur length based on ultrasonography |
| Estimated fetal weight | 20-26 weeks of gestation | Estimated fetal weight based on ultrasonography |
