In limited resource settings as in Egypt, prevention of health burden related to PE represents a major challenge. These circulatory adaptations could be non-invasively detected by Doppler ultrasound waveforms. However, it is believed that the main feature is urtero-placental insufficiency with compensatory changes of fetal circulation in response to hypoxia. ![]() The pathogenesis of PE is quite complex and poorly understood. The latter accounts for the majority of cases (> 80%). īased on the onset, PE is further classified into two main types, early onset (EOP) and late onset (LOP) with cut-point of ≤ 34 weeks gestation. In Egypt, around 960 maternal deaths occur annually with PE identified as the main indirect cause of death. In 2014, a multi cross- sectional survey conducted in 29 developing countries reported that a range of 1 in 10 to 1 in 4 perinatal deaths were attributed to severe PE and eclampsia. In low- and middle-income countries, the prevalence is rapidly increasing almost 7 times more (2.4%) than developed ones (0.4%). The worldwide-level estimates of PE range from 3 to 10% of all pregnancies with more than 70.000 maternal mortalities and over 500.000 fetal/neonatal deaths annually. It constitutes a major health problem associated with substantial maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality with increased risk of long-term health consequences. Preeclampsia (PE) is a complex pregnancy-specific hypertensive disorder arising after 20 weeks’ gestation.
