H ypertension during pregnancy is one of the top 3 causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide.1,2 The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs), which include preeclampsia, superimposed preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and chronic hypertension, complicate ≈5% to 10% of pregnancies. 1,3 Maternal complications that result from HDPs include stroke, eclampsia, and renal dysfunction; and adverse fetal outcomes include stillbirth, preterm delivery, and cerebral palsy. 4 These severe consequences of the HDPs make them a global health burden, especially in the low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) where >90% of HDP-related deaths occur. 2,5 To reduce this burden, there is a need to correctly identify women at high risk of developing adverse outcomes in time to avoid their occurrence. Accurate risk assessment can aid decision making around the management of HDPs, including timing of delivery, administration of antenatal corticosteroids for acceleration of fetal pulmonary maturity or Magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis, and maternal transfer to a higher level of care. 1,3 To facilitate risk stratification and improve the management of HDPs, the fullPIERS model (Preeclampsia Integrated Estimate of Risk) was developed to predict adverse maternal outcomes occurring in the 48 hours after hospital admission with preeclampsia in high-income countries. The adverse outcomes predicted by the model included major organ dysfunction and death. 6 The fullPIERS model is based on maternal demographics, signs, symptoms, and laboratory tests, with the final model consisting of 6 predictor variables: gestational Abstract-The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity, especially in low-and middle-income countries. Early identification of women with preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy at high risk of complications will aid in reducing this health burden. The fullPIERS model (Preeclampsia Integrated Estimate of Risk) was developed for predicting adverse maternal outcomes from preeclampsia using data from tertiary centers in high-income countries and uses maternal demographics, signs, symptoms, and laboratory tests as predictors. We aimed to assess the validity of the fullPIERS model in women with the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in low-resourced hospital settings. Using miniPIERS data collected on women admitted with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy between July 2008 and March 2012 in 7 hospitals in 5 low-and middle-income countries, the predicted probability of developing an adverse maternal outcome was calculated for each woman using the fullPIERS equation.Missing predictor values were imputed using multivariate imputation by chained equations. To ensure the generalizability of the fullPIERS model before it is implemented into clinical practice to improve maternal care, 9,10 we sought to assess the model's potential for use in a LMIC setting where the majority of HDP-related morbidity and mortality occur. The objective of this st...
