%X <strong>Background:</strong><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Knowledge of temporal evolution of
preeclampsia (PE) in its various aspects is essential in strategies to reduce
maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is a public health
problem due to maternal mortality associated with it worldwide (5.6%).
Improving quality of its management is a major challenge in low-income
countries where, despite progress made in this field, PE remains a major factor
in maternal morbidity and mortality. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Objective:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> To evaluate temporal
evolution of frequency, risk factors and complications of PE at the University
clinics of Kinshasa (UCK)</span></span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Methods: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Descriptive and

University clinics of Kinshasa from January 2012 to December 2022. Results will
be reported as percentage proportion, mean and standard deviation. Comparison
of proportion and means between groups will be made using Student¡¯s t-test and
Pearson¡¯s chi-square test, respectively. The test will be statistically
significant for a p value </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡Ü </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">less than 0.05.
