  1. Model I: None covariates were adjusted;.
  2. Model II: age, BMI, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, aspirin, depressor, family history of hypertension, tobacco, alcohol, IVF, parity, alanine transaminase, total cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, test week, adverse pregnancy history were adjusted.
  3. UA, uric acid; PE, preeclampsia; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
