Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship between serum soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (sFlt-1) and fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) levels and pregnancy outcomes in preeclampsia.Methods In this study, 113 preeclamptic women admitted between January 2021 and January 2024 were categorized into mild (n = 72) and severe (n = 41) groups, with 103 healthy pregnant women as controls. Baseline characteristics and serum sFlt-1/FGF-19 levels were recorded. Preeclamptic patients were followed and stratified by pregnancy outcome (normal vs. adverse). Multivariable logistic regression identified risk factors for adverse outcomes; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves assessed the diagnostic value of sFlt-1 and FGF-19.Results Serum sFlt-1 and FGF-19 levels were significantly elevated in the severe group versus mild and control groups (P < 0.05). The normal outcome group exhibited lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), 24-h urinary protein, sFlt-1, and FGF-19 levels versus the adverse outcome group (P < 0.05). Age, pre-pregnancy BMI, parity, gestational age at delivery, creatinine, urea nitrogen, uric acid, cholesterol, and triglycerides showed no intergroup differences (P > 0.05). Multivariable analysis identified elevated SBP [O^R = 1.072 (95% CI: 1.015, 1.134) ], 24-h urinary protein [O^R = 16.830 (95% CI: 3.015, 93.937) ], sFlt-1 [O^R = 1.006 (95% CI: 1.003, 1.009) ], and FGF-19 [O^R = 1.047 (95% CI: 1.017, 1.079) ] as independent risk factors for adverse outcomes (P < 0.05). ROC analysis demonstrated that sFlt-1/FGF-19 combination predicted adverse outcomes with an AUC of 0.928 (95% CI: 0.880, 0.975), sensitivity of 88.6% (95% CI: 0.733, 0.968), and specificity of 85.9% (95% CI: 0.762, 0.927).Conclusion Serum sFlt-1 and FGF-19 levels are strongly associated with preeclampsia severity and serve as valuable predictors of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
