We have in Madagascar a high rate of early-onset preeclampsia/eclampsia EOP (37% versus approximately 10% in international literature) and a consequent worrying rate of maternal-fetal mortality. We could find other high incidence of EOP in nine other geographical locations: Guadeloupe (31%), Réunion (31%), Mauritius (34%), Cameroon (37.4%), China (38%), Zimbabwe (58%), Thailand (34%), Turkey (29%), and India (26%). Emerging and tropical countries may belong to the "high rate of EOP standard." There is an urgent need to have additional data from these areas to confirm the hypothesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
