Maternal body mass index and the risk of preeclampsia: a systematic overview.
TL;DR: Most observational studies demonstrate a consistently strong positive association between maternal prepregnancy body mass index and the risk of preeclampsia, and increasing obesity in developed countries is likely to increase the occurrence of preeClampsia.

Clinical risk factors for pre-eclampsia determined in early pregnancy: systematic review and meta-analysis of large cohort studies
TL;DR: A practical evidence based list of clinical risk factors that can be assessed by a clinician at ≤16 weeks’ gestation to estimate a woman’s risk of pre-eclampsia and the use of aspirin prophylaxis in pregnancy is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity in pregnancy
TL;DR: Maternal obesity is associated with many risks to the pregnancy, with increased risk of miscarriage, and obese woman should try to lose weight before pregnancy but probably not during pregnancy.

The Risk of Preeclampsia Rises with Increasing Prepregnancy Body Mass Index
TL;DR: The results indicate that preeclampsia risk rises through most of the BMI distribution, and the dramatic elevation in overweight prevalence in the United States may increase preeClampsia incidence in the future.

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models
Kung Yee Liang,Scott L. Zeger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.

TL;DR: It is hoped that this clinical classification and associated definitions will find general acceptance so that the incidence and outcome of the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the results of research in different centers may be compared and mutual understanding achieved.

TL;DR: Estimates of maternal mortality associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean are presented and strategies to prevent these deaths are discussed.

Epidemiology of preeclampsia and eclampsia in the United States, 1979-1986.
TL;DR: Maternal age less than 20 years old was the strongest risk factor for both preeclampsia and eClampsia, and data indicate a need for improved prenatal care among teenagers.
