Will this pre-eclampsia trial change guidelines?
The largest study yet suggests that expectant management may not be the best approach
Offering a planned early delivery to women with late preterm pre-eclampsia reduces maternal morbidity without adversely affecting neonatal morbidity, UK trial results show.
In the largest trial to date, 901 pregnant women with late-term pre-eclampsia from 34 to 37 weeks’ gestation were randomly allocated to either planned delivery within two days of randomisation or usual care (expectant management).
