Key Points

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of pre-eclampsia assessments in malaria-endemic regions and understand misclassification rates.
Conducted a comparative cross-sectional study in a malaria-endemic setting.
Analyzed the diagnostic performance of pre-eclampsia criteria in the presence of malaria.
Evaluated rates of misclassification concerning concurrent malaria cases.
Moderate diagnostic performance was observed for pre-eclampsia diagnosis.
Significant misclassification rates particularly increased when malaria was also present.

Abstract

Routine diagnosis of pre-eclampsia in malaria-endemic settings demonstrates moderate diagnostic performance, with considerable misclassification, particularly in the presence of concurrent malaria.
