Pre-eclampsia is still a condition which worldwide kills many mothers and is the cause of a great number of perinatal deaths and one of the leading causes of perinatal morbidity even in developed countries. The definition of pre-eclampsia still varies in the literature, thus making the comparison of results difficult and the issue obscure.
