Resumen
DIAZ-MARTINEZ, Luis Alfonso y SERRANO-DIAZ, Norma Cecilia. A paper aimed at inviting reflection on opportunities in preeclampsia research from the perspective of primary prevention. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2008, vol.59, n.3, pp.206-215. ISSN 0034-7434.
Introduction: this essay presents some research fields in which (from a preventative perspective) advanced, qualified and appropriate research must be carried out and interventions made for clarifying doubts or gaps concerning preeclampsia to reduce its impact on our target population. Facts: inconsistencies in the available information arise in some areas concerning preeclampsia incidence, associated risk-factors, short-and long-term consequences in preeclampsia patients or their siblings, pregnant females perception of preeclampsia and the efficacy of many proposed population prevention measures. Conclusions: such deficiencies can be more efficiently resolved by linking pathophysiological knowledge of preeclampsia with research and intervention strategies in epidemiology and public health.
