BackgroundEstimating the contribution of preeclampsia (PE) to perinatal mortality in low-resource settings remains difficult due to limited diagnostic capacity. Lack of specific histopathologic changes in stillbirth, foetuses and/or placenta often hampers assignment of PE as cause of death. While PE angiogenic biomarkers (sFlt-1, PlGF) predict adverse pregnancy outcomes, their post-mortem diagnostic utility is unclear. We evaluated the potential role of these biomarkers in identifying PE-related...
