Our study suggests that low ff is associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, including PE/PIH, GDM, and SGA/FGR. However, the relationship between ff and PTB remains unclear due to conflicting evidence. It should be emphasized that further research is needed to reveal the underlying mechanisms behind the association of low ff with adverse pregnancy outcomes and explore its potential role in an overall prenatal screening, which could potentially not be limited to detecting aneuploidies.
