Association of severity features and laboratory biomarkers with adverse maternal outcomes in pre-eclamptic women: a retrospective cohort study in an Ethiopian tertiary hospital.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the association between clinical severity features, laboratory biomarkers and adverse maternal outcomes in women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia-eclampsia syndrome.
designA retrospective cohort study design.
settingAyder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Tigray, Ethiopia.
participantsA total of 1095 women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia-eclampsia syndrome between 2015 and 2021 were consecutively included. OUTCOMES: Adverse maternal outcomes, defined as a composite of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, need for haemodialysis, pulmonary oedema or death.
methodsA multivariable binary logistic regression model was used to assess the association between pre-eclampsia severity features, laboratory biomarkers and adverse maternal outcomes. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) were estimated with 95% CIs.
resultsAdverse maternal outcomes occurred in 100 (9.1%) of cases. Eclampsia (AOR=8.85, 95% CI 4.08 to 19.20), lower extremity oedema (AOR=2.28, 95% CI 1.06 to 4.90) and elevated creatinine levels (AOR=5.07, 95% CI 2.21 to 11.61) were significant predictors. Additionally, increasing maternal age was associated with a higher risk (AOR=1.07, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.13).
conclusionsClinical severity features (eclampsia and lower extremity oedema), laboratory biomarkers (elevated creatinine) and increasing maternal age were associated with unfavourable maternal outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of integrating clinical signs and laboratory biomarkers into risk assessment for pre-eclampsia patients.
