OBJECTIVE:

To determine the diagnostic performance of the FullPIERS model as a predictor of perinatal complications in patients with preeclampsia from a public hospital in Northwest Mexico.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Retrospective study, for the evaluation of a proper diagnosis, performed in patients with diagnosis of preeclampsia attended at a second-level public hospital between October 2018 and February 2019. Inclusion criteria: sufficient data to introduce them into the FullPIERS calculator (saturation of oxygen, platelet retreat, creatinine, aspartate, transaminases and the existence of dysnea). Exclusion criteria: patients with previous diagnosis of acute, pulmonary or renal liver diseases. It is compared to the percentage of the ingrowth risk of each patient versus the number of patients with complications. Calculated: sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of the model.

RESULTS:

If 100 patients were studied with preeclampsia: 11 with positive results according to the Full PIERS calculator (over 5% risk), and 7 out of 11 were true. For the Full PIERS model, it was obtained: 58.3% sensitivity and 95.5% specificity, 59% positive predictive value, and 95% negative predictive value for the prediction of complications of preeclampsia, with a curve area of 0.799.

CONCLUSION:

The FullPIERS calculator is a useful tool for predicting complications to cut and can indicate the appropriate treatment for each patient.
