The objective of this study was to explore and validate thresholds for Placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine-kinase 1 (s-Flt-1) (as s-Flt-1: PlGF ratio), to rule-in and rule-out disease in women with suspected pre-eclampsia, using DELFIA® Xpress PlGF1-2-3 and sFlt-1 assays.369 samples from women with suspected or confirmed pre-eclampsia were analysed from a prospective cohort study.Serum PlGF and sFlt-1: PlGF were quantified using DELFIA® Xpress PlGF1-2-3 and DELFIA® Xpress sFlt-1 tests. Performances were evaluated at established and exploratory thresholds. Low PlGF concentration and sFlt-1: PlGF AUROC were compared.PlGF 1-2-3 concentration thresholds were confirmed to have high performance for rule-in (50 pg/ml) and rule-out (≥150 pg/ml) pre-eclampsia within seven days (20-33DELFIA® Xpress PlGF1-2-3 and sFlt-1 assays for pre-eclampsia rule-in and rule-out have comparable performance to other established assays, and could be an alternative for clinical use. Performance was not enhanced by use of sFlt-1: PlGF ratio, suggesting that PlGF alone could provide a cheaper alternative to dual biomarker testing.
