The test can identify with 96 percent accuracy which women with sometimes-vague symptoms will develop preeclampsia within the following two weeks

Excellent news. Having had friends suffer from pre-eclampsia, it's a very stressful and scary condition, being able to rule it out for many is as good as being able to predict those with it.

Only 33% false positives among the positives is pretty great for such a test. Nice

Wow, this is incredible news. Is there any reason this shouldn’t be a standard test in modern prenatal care? Preeclampsia can get so scary so fast.
