Protocol for a prospective cohort study on pre-eclampsia risk prediction in Ghana, Kenya and South Africa
The study will provide critical evidence on the prognostic accuracy and predictive performance of a pre-eclampsia risk screening algorithm in sub-Saharan African settings. This study will inform the design of the PEARLS trial, as well as provide vital evidence for implementation of systematic risk screening for pre-eclampsia in African women.
