  Objective: To construct a new predictive model and scoring system for hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy by using a combination of simple clinical variables that can easily be obtained at antenatal visit, and evaluate its clinical diagnostic value. Study design: Included in this study were 2,466 nulliparous pregnant women at the gestational age of 16~20 weeks who came to our hospital for the first antenatal visit between 2011 and 2013. They were classified as a derivation cohort (n=1,421) and a validation cohort (n=1,045). A predictive model was developed from a logistic regression model, scoring system was developed by using the regression coefficients obtained from the new model and then internally and externally validated. Results: The predictive model comprised 8 variables: body mass index (BMI), mean.. Read More»
