Recently, all individual quad markers of conventional trisomy screening have been suggested as useful in predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) such as preeclampsia, preterm labor, small for gestational age, and placental abruptions. However, similar studies on Indian pregnant women are limited. Hence, this study was intended to find the relation of quadruple markers with any other APO than aneuploidy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective study was conducted in a Tertiary Care multi-specialty hospital in North India. Data from 252 pregnant women\u2019s quadruple test was analyzed. The association of abnormal value of quadruple markers (human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]\/alpha-fetoprotein\/uE3\/Inhibin A) with adverse outcomes was evaluated. Multiple logistic regression analysis and classification and regression tree were used to predict the significant risk factor in high-risk pregnancies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the study, a total (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 252) of pregnant women, 190 were screened as high-risk pregnancies, whereas the remaining 62 were reported as low-risk using trisomy screening in the quadruple test.
