Preeclampsia severity score
	Low (2 points per category)	Medium (4 points per category)	High (6 points per category)
SBP (mmHg)	140–145	146–150	>150
Proteinuria (mg/24h)	300–500	501–1000	>1000
Platelet count (100,000/ml)	>1.45	1.2–1.44	<1.2
Uric acid (mg/dl)	<7.9	7.9–8.9	>8.9
Birth weight (g)	>2000	1600–1999	<1600

The data was based on values used for clinical evaluation of patients at Georgetown University Hospital (GUH). The score for severity of preeclampsia (PE) was assigned based on the total number of points in all categories, as follows: Low (0–10 points), Medium (11–20) and High (21–30). SBP: systolic blood pressure.
