title: Preeclampsia: Prevalence and perinatal repercussions in a University Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
abstract: Preeclampsia (PE) prevalence studies in Brazil are both scarce and not divided in accordance with gestational age at delivery. We accessed PE prevalence according to delivery before 34, 37 and 42weeks in a cross-sectional study including 4464 single deliveries. PE was diagnosed in 301 cases (6.74%); Prevalence of PE was 0.78%; 1.92% and 6.74% according to deliveries before 34, 37 and 42weeks. PE was associated with fetal death, prematurity and small for gestational age newborns.
