Preeclampsia represents the second cause of death, preceded by obstetric hemorrhage; In addition, it is associated with a perinatal mortality up to five times higher, for this reason the objective is to compare the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with and without preeclampsia at a Maternity Clinic in Cartagena during the period from June to December 2017.
