PERLA-Brazil: A Cohort Study Exploring Preeclampsia and Latent Cardiovascular Risk After Delivery

Abstract Background: Over the past few decades, many high-income countries have experienced significant reductions in the incidence of preeclampsia (PE). However, this trend has not been mirrored in many low- and middle-income countries, including Brazil. In light of this, it is essential to understand the long-term health outcomes of women who develop PE to better inform health policies and care strategies for these women.
