Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Specific targets to identify women suitable for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease at a relatively young age. Preeclampsia study part: -Vascular dysfunction primary outcome: difference in prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and/or circulating microparticles between cases and controls -Diastolic dysfunction primary outcome: difference in diastolic heart function or heart failure between cases and controls. Spontaneous preterm birth study part: -Vascular dysfunction primary outcome: difference in prevalence of hypertension and/or circulating microparticles between cases and controls -Diastolic dysfunction primary outcome: difference in the E*mean, one of the cardiac ultrasound parameters of diastolic heart function, between cases and controls. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Preeclampsia study part: The secondary outcome measure will be a difference in cardiovascular parameters and differences in metabolic venous blood measurements. Spontaneous preterm birth study part: The secondary outcome measure will be a difference in 10-year cardiovascular risk, a difference in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, and differences in cardiovascular parameters and metabolic venous blood measurements | — |
