Identifying preeclamptic women with an increased risk of severe maternal complications can aid in timely interventions to optimize pregnancy outcomes. Newer biomarkers such as Decorin and markers of endo glycocalyx disruption were assessed in earlier studies for its role in predicting preeclampsia, but their role in identifying those with adverse maternal outcomes is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association of these biomarkers with adverse maternal outcomes in women with severe pre-eclampsia. Markers of glycocalyx disruption may be further explored for their role along with clinical features and other biomarkers in identifying women at higher risk of maternal complications.
