Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint is the evaluation of a systematic pathologic scoring system for placental bed lesions | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoint is a feasibility score for placental bed biopsies. Thirdly, vascular pathology between both groups will be compared and scored. Also the additional value of the analysis in Southampton to the scoringsystem will be evaluated. The future endpoint of the main study encompasses the correlation between pathological score of placental bed from pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia or intrauterine growth restriction and cardiovascular health of the mother. Therefore samples from the pilot study will also be used for the intended main study. | — |
