Re-test for all women

Applied to all women with the following criteria:

- initially had a test result of ≤ 38

- did not develop preeclampsia at week two

The influence of the re-test for this population on the clinical and budget impact resulting from a change in management according to the re-test results and the additional test costs has been considered.

The influence of the additional costs on the budget impact for a re-test for all women irrespective of the initial test result, preeclampsia status at week two and treatment location has been taken into account.
