Assessing Severity and Need for Delivery in Early Onset Preeclampsia Before 32 Weeks of Gestation: a Delphi Consensus Procedure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preeclampsia is a potentially life-threatening hypertensive pregnancy disorder that carries an acute risk of an unfavorable outcome of the pregnancy but also has consequences for the long-term health of the mother. Women who develop the early form of pre-eclampsia before the 32nd week of pregnancy have the highest risk and are also the most difficult to treat. The severity of pre-eclampsia is not characterized uniformly in Germany, so that the indication for delivery is rather individualized. The aim of this study was to reach a consensus on parameters that could serve as criteria for describing the severity of pre-eclampsia based on the urgency of delivery. To this end, a Delphi procedure was used to present a scenario in which a woman was admitted for preeclampsia befo
