The redefinition of what constitutes 'severe' pre-eclampsia to include only clinical variables that mandate delivery will provide greater clinical clarity than previous documents.

Such women would be priorities for current prevention strategies and comprise an enriched cohort for future attempts at disease prevention related to a specific pathway to disease.
