Key Points

This analysis aims to investigate the trends and regional disparities in preeclampsia and eclampsia cases in Brazil from 2008 to 2023.
Reviewed data on preeclampsia/eclampsia hospitalizations across Brazil from 2008 to 2023.
Analyzed trends in mortality rates associated with preeclampsia/eclampsia.
Evaluated the impact of workforce shortages and funding issues on care quality.
Hospitalizations for preeclampsia and eclampsia have significantly increased over the studied period.
Mortality rates among affected populations remain alarmingly high, indicating quality care issues.
Surveillance and referral systems show considerable gaps in responding to inequities in access to healthcare.

Abstract

Preeclampsia/eclampsia hospitalizations are rising in Brazil, yet persistent mortality exposes a quality chasm exacerbated by workforce shortages and SUS underfunding. Addressing these inequities requires strengthening surveillance and referral systems to ensure dignified, high-quality care and reduce the disease burden.
