Elevated C-reactive protein levels during first trimester of pregnancy are indicative of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of tissue damage and inflammation. Maternal levels of CRP are elevated in overt preeclampsia, but there is still debate about its use as a predictive marker for preeclampsia during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. In this study, we measured CRP levels during the first trimester of pregnancy in women who later developed preeclampsia or gave birth to a growth-restricted baby. In total, 107 women from a low-risk population participated in the study, six women developed preeclampsia and nine gave birth to a growth-restricted baby. Although there is a large overlap in measured CRP levels between the three groups, mean CRP levels were significantly elevated in women who later developed preeclampsia (P=0.031) or delivered a growth-restricted baby (P=0.041) when compared with women from the control group, matched for maternal and gestational age, parity, and gravidity. This study shows that in a low-risk population, CRP levels are already elevated between weeks 10 and 14 in pregnant women who develop preeclampsia or deliver a growth-restricted baby.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
