Preeclampsia is becoming an increasingly common diagnosis in the developed world and remains a high cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality in the developing world. It is a multisystem progressive disorder of pregnancy characterized by the new onset of hypertension and proteinuria of ≥300 mg/day or of hypertension and significant end-organ dysfunction with or without proteinuria. It also presents with a variety of organ failures, including malfunction of kidneys, liver and lungs. It is estimated that about 5-7% of pregnancies are complicated by preeclampsia. This disorder always resolves after delivery. In about 80% of cases, pregnancy ends with good maternal and fetal outcomes. However, these pregnancies are still at increased risk for maternal and/or fetal mortality or serious morbidity. The remaining 20% of cases are at risk for preterm delivery and small gestational age infant. As regards the long-term consequences, women with preeclampsia are at high risk for cardiovascular, renal, and chronic hypertensive diseases. The exact pathophysiology of preeclampsia is poorly understood and, consequently, there are no well-established methods of primary prevention or of cost-effective screening. Childbirth is the only known cure; however, the decision between delivery and expectant management depends on several factors, such as fetal gestational age, maternal and fetal status at time of initial evaluation, presence of labor or rupture of fetal membranes, and level of available neonatal and maternal services. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the latest developments about the physiopathology, diagnosis, and treatment of pre-eclampsia. Addressed to gynecologists, obstetricians, researchers and students, this text aims to become a reference for all operators who are interested in pregnancy complications and in the management and treatment of this specific disorder which is increasingly common in the population.

The book is targeted at the candidates appearing for the MRCOG Part 2, which is a compulsory examination for postgraduate trainees in the UK who aspire to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynaecology. Apart from the UK postgraduates, MRCOG examination is taken by postgraduates all across the globe to obtain this prestigious degree. The examination is carried out twice a year, and the venues are London, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast in the UK. The examination also takes place in Bangladesh, Egypt, Hong Kong, India (2 centres), Iraq, Jordan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Dubai and Jamaica. At each centre, the number of candidates participating varies between 5 and 200. Apart from the candidates appearing for this examination, this book would be helpful for the assessment of knowledge in all postgraduate trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology worldwide. Therefore, this book has a wide target group. A unique characteristic of this book is that it produces a comprehensive set of both types of questions covering all the modules of the MRCOG Part 2 syllabus (www.rcog.org.uk). A broad range of reading material has been used to develop the EMQs and SBAs including RCOG Greentop Guidelines, Scientific Impact Papers, Clinical Governance Papers and RCOG Consent Advice. In addition to the RCOG revision material, the authors have included questions from The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist (TOG), NICE Guidelines, StratOG and recommended textbooks. The authors have experience in MRCOG examination question writing, and Sharmistha Guha has been a co-lead for the London SBA Writing Group for the RCOG. The questions have been written to the same standard as the RCOG question bank. Mr. Gregory Ward, who is the Head of London Specialty School of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, wrote the foreword of the book. He is a senior clinician, a RCOG examiner and member of the RCOG SBA committee. He has provided guidance continually to ensure the quality of the questions is up to the standard of RCOG. It is important to recognize that this book is not a textbook and should not be used as the sole reading material for the examination. However, the questions will be especially useful in gaining valuable examination practice. An explanation has been provided for all of the questions along with references to aid in the preparation. A reading guide has been provided for assistance. The authors hope that this will be a useful tool in preparation for this crucial examination.

This book is a comprehensive collection of questions in the “single best answer (SBA)” format for the MRCOG2 theory exam. This new format has been introduced in the exam paper from March 2015 and most candidates are still getting used to the change. This book will provide them ample opportunity to familiarize themselves with the concept and then practice answering the questions based on almost all subjects included in the MRCOG 2 theory syllabus. Preparing for the MRCOG2 exam is a daunting task for all Obstetrics and Gynecology doctors. The college constantly reforms the exam structure in an effort to optimize the evaluation process. The endeavor of the authors is to equip the candidates with a vision of the holistic nature of the exam so that they master the art of answering SBA questions.
