This is a special problem in Brazil since pre-eclampsia accounts for higher prevalence of preterm births comparing with high-income countries. Objective: To reduce preterm births related to pre-eclampsia. Methodology: This is a multicentre study with a stepped wedge design involving seven tertiary centres in Brazil that will receive an intervention based on risk stratification. All data have been recorded in the CoLab COLLECT Database. Results: Table 1 presents the characteristics of 634 women with preterm pre-eclampsia enrolled to the study between January 2017 and March 2018. Conclusion: The PREPARE study will allow to establish reliable characteristics of women with preterm pre-eclampsia in Brazil.
