The related pregnancy complications, pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preterm birth persist as leading causes of maternal and perinatal death and long term morbidity. Whilst the impact of these conditions is significant in high income countries, the burden of these diseases falls disproportionately on low and middle income countries (LMICS). Whilst our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of the obstetrical syndromes, pre-eclampsia, FGR and preterm birth has progressed, the development of new treatments and preventative strategies has slowed, with very few new interventions successfully translating into clinical practice.
