Overview

Technical summary

NICE HealthTech guidance HTG630, published 27 July 2022 as diagnostics guidance DG49 and later moved to the HTG number. The Overview page says the recommendations and content were not changed by the move. Recommendation 1.1 covers PlGF-based tests added to the usual clinical examination for people with suspected preterm pre-eclampsia between 20 weeks and 36 weeks 6 days of pregnancy. Whether a later NICE edition replaces it was not checked. Because of NICE's reuse terms, this atlas states the facts in its own words, with a citation and a link.

Edition note
Three pages as shown on 2026-10-11: the Overview, chapter 1 Recommendations and chapter 2 The diagnostic tests. The page header gives the reference number and the publication date. The Overview says diagnostics guidance 49 was migrated to HealthTech guidance 630 with its recommendations and content unchanged. The old DG49 address was fetched too (fetch-log label mc-nice-htg630-dg49.html) and says the guidance itself has not changed; it has no snapshot record.
