Erratum to “The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) initiative on pre‐eclampsia: A pragmatic guide for first‐trimester screening and prevention” [Int J Gynecol Obstet 145 Suppl. 1 (2019) 1–33]

The International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics regrets that, in the above article, an error appeared in the 5.3.4 Measurement of uterine artery pulsatility index section on page 17, 5th paragraph, second last sentence: The first-trimester abnormal UTPI is defined as less than the 90th percentile, achieving a detection rate of 48%, at 8% false-positive rate, for the identification of early-onset PE. should have been: The first-trimester abnormal UTPI is defined as greater than the 90th percentile, achieving a detection rate of 48%, at 8% false-positive rate, for the identification of early-onset PE. Affiliation of the author, Mary D'Alton has been corrected to the following: Obstetrician and Gynecologist in-Chief, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian The online version is corrected with the above changes after first online publication. The authors would like to replace the paragraph in Universal Screening under the Executive Summary on page 6 with the following: Universal Screening: All pregnant women should be screened for preterm PE during early pregnancy in the first trimester with maternal risk factors and blood pressure. Biomarkers offer a potential for early diagnosis and effective treatment; however, the global community recognizes that further evidence for their applicability in all populations and ethnic groups is required at this stage. While several studies have evaluated the role of biomarkers or a combination of physical and chemical measurements, further studies are needed to define their additional role in improving early prediction of preterm PE. FIGO encourages all countries and its member associations to adopt and promote strategies to ensure quality research and eventual consensus. Global consensus regarding specific parameters can be impacted both by population characteristics and resource settings. Current research is investigating mean arterial pressure (MAP), serum placental growth factor (PLGF), uterine artery pulsatility index (UTPI) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A). The above correction was identified and added on 28 October 2019, after the first publication of this erratum. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
