Maternal characteristics, highest UtA pulsatility index and serum placental biomarkers including pregnancy‐associated plasma protein‐A, placental growth factor, soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase 1, P‐selectin and neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin were recorded.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>The rate of PE was 2.5% (13/528). Four (0.8%) had severe PE. A combined screening model that included placental growth factor, soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase 1 and neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin could detect 77% of PE at a 10% false‐positive rate. Mean risk for mild PE was 8.8% ± 6.4, mean risk for severe PE was 38.6% ± 4.3. Mean risk for controls was 2% ± 4.1.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>This combination of maternal biochemical variables in the first trimester can detect a consistent number of late PE. Further studies on a new and independent series of data could confirm the presented results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</jats:p></jats:sec>
