Abstract
The role of magnesium sulfate for treatment of eclampsia is well established. The medication proved to be superior to other anticonvulsants to reduce the incidence of recurrent convulsions among women with eclampsia. Additionally, magnesium sulfate has been indicated for women with preeclampsia with different severe features. However, despite these recommendations, many clinicians are still not confident with the use of magnesium sulfate, even in settings with high incidence of preeclampsia and unacceptable rates of maternal mortality. This review brings basic science and clinical information to endorse recommendations to encourage clinicians to use magnesium sulfate for patients with all severe features of preeclampsia, not only for women with neurological symptoms. Additionally, other benefits of magnesium sulfate in anesthesia and fetal neuroprotection are also presented. Finally, a comprehensive algorithm presents recommendations to manage patients with preeclampsia with severe features between 34 and 36+6 weeks.

Abstract
Objective Hypertensive diseases of pregnancy are one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between protein levels in 24-hour urine samples and maternal and perinatal outcomes in preeclamptic patients. Material and Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted with pregnant women who were diagnosed with preeclampsia (PE) and delivered in our clinic between 2010 and 2018. Patients were divided into those with a proteinuria value below 300 mg/24 h (non-proteinuria), proteinuria value between 300-2000 mg/24 h (mild proteinuria), proteinuria value between 2000-5000 mg/24 h (severe proteinuria) and proteinuria value >5000 mg/24 h (massive proteinuria) and were compared in terms of maternal and perinatal outcomes. Demographic characteristics (age, body mass index in kg/m2, gravidity), PE-related clinical symptoms (epigastric pain, neurological and respiratory symptoms), laboratory findings (24 h protein level, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, platelet count and creatine levels) were recorded in all patients. Results A total of 1,379 patients meeting the study criteria were included. There were 315 (23%) patients in the non-proteinuria group, 704 (51%) in the mild proteinuria group, 234 (17%) patients in the severe group and 126 (9%) patients in the massive proteinuria group. The massive proteinuria group was found to have the highest rates of maternal and prenatal complications. The Apgar score, umbilical cord pH value, birth weight, gestational week at delivery, intrauterine growth restriction and intrauterine fetal death were significantly higher in the massive proteinuria group. Conclusion Our data showed that the degree of proteinuria appears to be associated with maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes among women diagnosed with PE. Women with proteinuria of >5000 mg/24 hours had notably poorer natal outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review literature and estimate the occurrence of preeclampsia and its complications in Brazil. METHODS We performed an integrative review of the literature, and included observational studies published until August 2021 on the SciELO and PubMed databases that evaluated preeclampsia among pregnant women in Brazil. Other variables of interests were maternal death, neonatal death, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome, and eclampsia. Three independent reviewers evaluated all retrieved studies and selected those that met inclusion criteria. A metanalysis of the prevalence of preeclampsia and eclampsia was also performed, to estimate a pooled frequency of those conditions among the studies included. RESULTS We retrieved 304 studies after the initial search; of those, 10 were included in the final analysis, with a total of 52,986 women considered. The pooled prevalence of preeclampsia was of 6.7%, with a total of 2,988 cases reported. The frequency of eclampsia ranged from 1.7% to 6.2%, while the occurrence of HELLP syndrome was underreported. Prematurity associated to hypertensive disorders ranged from 0.5% to 1.72%. CONCLUSION The frequency of preeclampsia was similar to that reported in other international studies, and it is increasing in Brazil, probably due to the adoption of new diagnostic criteria. The development of a national surveillance network would be essential to understand the problem of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in Brazil.

Abstract
Background Hypertensive disorders account for 14% of global maternal deaths. Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) is recommended for prevention and treatment of pre‐eclampsia/eclampsia. However, MgSO4 remains underused, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Objective This qualitative evidence synthesis explores perceptions and experiences of healthcare providers, administrators and policy‐makers regarding factors affecting use of MgSO4 to prevent or treat pre‐eclampsia/eclampsia. Search strategy We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Emcare, CINAHL, Global Health and Global Index Medicus, and grey literature for studies published between January 1995 and June 2021. Selection criteria Primary qualitative and mixed‐methods studies on factors affecting use of MgSO4 in healthcare settings, from the perspectives of healthcare providers, administrators and policy‐makers, were eligible for inclusion. Data collection and analysis We applied a thematic synthesis approach to analysis, using COM‐B behaviour change theory to map factors affecting appropriate use of MgSO4. Main results We included 22 studies, predominantly from LMICs. Key themes included provider competence and confidence administering MgSO4 (attitudes and beliefs, complexities of administering, knowledge and experience), capability of health systems to ensure MgSO4 availability at point of use (availability, resourcing and pathways to care) and knowledge translation (dissemination of research and recommendations). Within each COM‐B domain, we mapped facilitators and barriers to physical and psychological capability, physical and social opportunity, and how the interplay between these domains influences motivation. Conclusions These findings can inform policy and guideline development and improve implementation of MgSO4 in clinical care. Such action is needed to ensure this life‐saving treatment is widely available and appropriately used.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertension is a very important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite efforts on prevention. The lack of a tool to provide effective and early prediction of hypertension for a high-risk group may contribute to improving maternal and fetal outcomes. Metabolomics has figured out as a promised technology to contribute to the improvement of hypertension in pregnancy prediction. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Our primary outcome is hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. A detailed systematic literature search will be performed in electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Latin America and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Health Technology Assessment and Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects using controlled terms 'pre-eclampsia', 'hypertensive disorders', 'metabolomics' and 'prediction' (and their variations). Studies from the latest 20 years will be included, except case reports, reviews, cross-sectional studies, letter to editors, expert opinions, commentaries papers or non-human research. If possible, we will perform a meta-analysis. Two peer-reviewers will independently perform the search and in cases of discordance, a third reviewer will be consulted. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION As a systematic review, ethics approval is not required. The results of this review will present the current use and performance of metabolomics for predicting gestational hypertension. Such data could potentially guide future studies and interventions to improve existing prediction models. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42018097409.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia is a relatively frequent condition during pregnancy and childbirth. The administration of magnesium sulphate as a prophylactic and treatment measure is an evidence-based practice for eclampsia; however, it is not consistently used, compromising the health of pregnant women. This study aimed to assess compliance with recommendations of the International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) for the use of MgSO4 in pregnant women with preeclampsia, before and after the implementation of the World Health Organization Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC). METHODS This quasi-experimental study was conducted between July 2015 and July 2016 at a third-level maternity hospital in northeastern Brazil, where the SCC was implemented. Compliance (underuse and overuse of MgSO4) was assessed in biweekly samples of 30 deliveries assessed 6 months before and 6 months after SCC implementation, using indicators based on international guidelines. A total of 720 deliveries were assessed over 1 year using an ad hoc application for reviewing medical records. Aggregated adequate use was estimated for the study period, and the time series measurements were compared to a control chart to assess change. RESULTS The incidence of preeclampsia was 39.9% (287/720). Among these, 64.8% (186/287) had severe signs or symptoms and needed MgSO4. Underuse (no prescription when needed) of MgSO4 was observed in 74.7% (139/186) of women who needed the drug. Considering all women, non-compliance with the prescription protocol (underuse and overuse) was 20.0% (144/720). After introducing the SCC, the use of MgSO4 in women with preeclampsia with severe features increased from 19.1 to 34.2% (p = 0.025). Longitudinal analysis showed a significant (p < 0.05) ascending curve of adequate use of MgSO4 after the SCC was implemented. CONCLUSIONS Compliance with recommendations for the use of MgSO4 in preeclampsia was low, but improved after implementation of the SCC. Interventions to improve compliance based on diagnosis and treatment reminders may help in the implementation of this good practice.

Abstract
Preeclampsia currently remains one of the leading causes of death and severe maternal morbidity. Although its prevalence is still underestimated in some places due to underreporting, preeclampsia is a disease that health professionals need to know how to deal with and take action. For this reason, the studies about the theme remain along with the advances in their understanding that often implies improvement and change of concepts and conducts. The complexity of its etiology is a challenge and requires further studies for its full understanding. Apparently, poor adaptation of the maternal organism to the conceptus, marked by the nonoccurrence of changes in the uterine spiral arteries, determines a series of systemic repercussions that compound the various forms of preeclampsia presentation. In recent years, the use of acetylsalicylic acid to prevent cases of early onset of the disease has been consolidated and, alongside, studies have advanced the development of accessible and effective methods of identifying women at risk of preeclampsia. The aim of this review is to discuss updates on the occurrence, concept, pathophysiology, repercussion, prevention, and prediction of preeclampsia.

Abstract
Introduction Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the drug of choice for the prevention and control of seizures in the management of severe preeclampsia/eclampsia. Several barriers have been identified in the use of MgSO4, especially in low and middle-income settings. Objective To describe the obstetrician’s perception on possible reasons for underutilizing magnesium sulfate to treat preeclampsia/eclampsia. Method A qualitative clinical study, based on phenomenological reference by semi-structured interviews and open-ended discussions with obstetricians of the public healthcare system in primary care units (PCU) and referral maternity hospitals (RMH), in a southeastern Brazilian city. Results Fear of drug toxicity was the major cause for not prescribing the medication in PCU. Fear was justified by insufficient technical, structural and organizational resources of healthcare facilities and by a shortage of physicians properly trained for adequate drug use. Conclusion Fear of toxicity of magnesium sulfate was the main barrier towards timely and proper drug use. Periodic skill development and training of obstetricians, along with integration of the medical team in the work environment may contribute to decrease fear, ensuring safety of drug prescription and thus possibly reducing adverse outcomes related to PE.
