Abstract

BACKGROUND: The placenta is known to be critical in the etiology of preeclampsia. However, there is a subset of preeclampsia cases without identifiable placental pathology. We evaluated which clinical preeclampsia classification system best distinguishes preeclampsia with placental pathology from preeclampsia without placental pathology. METHODS: We evaluated 5 placental pathological features in 197 placentas from patients with preeclampsia grouped by 3 clinical preeclampsia subclasses: (1) preeclampsia with calculated infant birthweight
