What is Risk factors for pre‐eclampsia in clinical practice guidelines: Comparison with the evidence about?

## Abstract ## Objective To compare pre‐eclampsia risk factors identified by clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) with risk factors from hierarchical evidence review, to guide pre‐eclampsia prevention. ## Design Our search strategy provided hierarchical evidence of relationships between risk factors and pre‐eclampsia using Medline (Ovid), searched from January 2010 to January 2021. ## Setting Published studies and CPGs. ## Population Pregnant women. ## Methods We evaluated the strength of association and quality of evidence (GRADE). CPGs (n = 15) were taken from a previous systematic review. ## Main outcome measure Pre‐eclampsia. ## Results Of 78 pre‐eclampsia risk factors, 13 (16.5%) arise only during pregnancy. Strength of association was usually ‘probable’ (n = 40, 51.3%) and the quality of evidence was low (n = 35, 44.9%). The ‘major’ and ‘moderate’ risk factors proposed by 8/15 CPGs were not well aligned with the evidence; of the ten ‘major’ risk factors (alone warranting aspirin prophylaxis), associations with pre‐eclampsia were definite (n = 4), probable (n = 5) or possible (n = 1), based on moderate (n = 4), low (n = 5) or very low (n = 1) quality evidence.
