Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Lancet 2016;388:2629–2641) Placenta-mediated pregnancy complications include pre-eclampsia, birth of a small-for-gestational-age neonate, placental abruption, or late pregnancy loss and lead to maternal and fetal or neonatal morbidity and mortality. These complications have a high risk of recurring in subsequent pregnancies, and effective preventive measures are lacking.
