The burden of eclampsia: results from a multicenter study on surveillance of severe maternal morbidity in Brazil.

<h4>Objective</h4>Maternal mortality (MM) is a core indicator of disparities in women's rights. The study of Near Miss cases is strategic to identifying the breakdowns in obstetrical care. In absolute numbers, both MM and occurrence of eclampsia are rare events. We aim to assess the...
