TL;DR: The implementation of the CRADLE intervention was not associated with any significant change in the rates of eclampsia, stroke, or maternal death or intensive care admission with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, and this analysis emphasises that inequality and inequity persist in healthcare for women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

TL;DR: The incidence of pre-eclampsia complications, perinatal death and preterm delivery in women referred to tertiary care in South Africa was much higher than reported in other low- and middle-income studies and despite access to tertiaries care interventions.

TL;DR: The primary aim of this trial was to determine whether implementation of the CRADLE Vital Sign Alert and an education package into community and facility maternity care in low-resource settings could reduce a composite of all-cause maternal mortality or major morbidity (eclampsia and hysterectomy).

TL;DR: The CRADLE Vital Signs Alert is designed to risk stratify women with pre-eclampsia and those who trigger a yellow or red light need escalation of care.

TL;DR: The CRADLE Vital Signs Alert is an accurate device incorporating an evidence-based traffic light early warning system designed to ensure suitability for healthcare providers with limited training and may improve care for women in pregnancy, childbirth and in the postnatal period.
