Preeclampsia at Term Can Be Classified Into Two Clusters With Different Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes Based on Angiogenic Biomarkers in Maternal Blood

Abstract

(Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2023;228:569.e1–569.e24) Pre-eclampsia, a complex and multisystemic disorder affecting a significant percentage of pregnancies worldwide, is a leading cause of preterm birth and maternal mortality. This condition is not uniform and can be classified into different subtypes based on gestational age and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Understanding these subtypes is crucial for predicting maternal and fetal outcomes and developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
