Objective The predictive value of spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR) for estimating
total 24-hour proteinuria in severe preeclampsia is unclear. This study aimed to assess the
diagnostic accuracy of spot urine PCR for ascertaining the magnitude of proteinuria in
women with preeclampsia of varying severity. Methods A total of 205 patients with
prediagnosed preeclampsia were included in this prospective cohort study. Patients were
allocated into one of the three groups categorized by severity of disease, as follows�…
