What does this research mean for the field?

Preeclampsia and eclampsia are significant causes of pregnancy-related mortality, with black women experiencing a 3.1 times higher risk of death and twice the case-fatality rate compared to white women, alongside increased risks associated with advancing maternal age, lack of prenatal care, and early gestational age (20-28 weeks).
