Ultrasound estimated subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue thicknesses and risk of pre-eclampsia

Abstract Early identification of high-risk pregnancies enables identification of those who would benefit from aspirin prophylaxis and increased surveillance for pre-eclampsia. A high body mass index (BMI) is a well-known predictor for pre-eclampsia. However, if abdominal adipose tissue distribution...
