The association of abnormal alpha-fetoprotein and adverse pregnancy outcome: does increased fetal surveillance affect pregnancy outcome?

Elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels are a risk factor for pregnancy-induced hypertension, premature birth, fetal growth restriction, fetal death, and premature detachment of the placenta.
