Pregnancy and Fibrin Clot Properties

1. The structure of fibrin clot and thrombin generation may vary between trimesters of pregnancy. 2. Unfavorably altered fibrin clot properties along with enhanced thrombin generation may lead to the development of complications during pregnancy such as TE and hypertensive disorders. 3. The application of machine learning techniques may help to identify previously undetected phenotypes with increased risk of TE and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.

Taken together, the integration of both fibrin clot properties and thrombin generation markers in pregnant women using modern science techniques may reveal new mechanisms explaining the relationship between altered fibrin clot properties and certain pregnancy complications. Moreover, it may help to identify new clot phenotypes of potential clinical significance, indicating prothrombotic risk or elevated chance of development of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. Specific working hypotheses: 1. The structure of fibrin clot and thrombin generation may vary between trimesters of pregnancy. 2. Unfavorably altered fibrin clot properties along with enhanced thrombin generation may lead to the development of complications during pregnancy such as TE and hypertensive disorders. 3. The application of machine learning techniques may help to identify previously undetected phenotypes with increased risk of TE and hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.
