Is expectant management of early-onset severe preeclampsia worthwhile in low-resource settings?

Abstract: In low-resource settings, expectant management of early-onset severe PE is associated with relatively higher rates of perinatal mortality and maternal morbidity and should be limited to gestational ages between 28 and 34 weeks of gestation.

“…When the onset of pre‐eclampsia occurs at a pre‐viable gestation (ie< 24 weeks of gestation), there is little to be gained from prolonging the pregnancy with serious maternal morbidity rates of 65–71% and high perinatal mortality rates of >80% . The onus remains on the clinician to advise termination of pregnancy, particularly in resource poor settings …”

“…It is one of the important causes of perinatal death. Reportedly, the survival rate of babies born around 24–28 weeks of pregnancy is only 19.7%, while the survival rate of babies born around 32–34 weeks of pregnancy generally rises to 79.8% 22 . This study shows that the overall perinatal mortality in China was 3.59% (of which stillbirth accounted for 81.09% and neonatal death accounted for 18.91%).…”
