Adequate understanding of this condition improves treatment, control, and prevention. This study evaluated preeclampsia awareness among pregnant women in Syria, and the characteristics related to awareness adequacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This national cross-sectional study was conducted in Syria between 25 October and November 19, 2022. We included pregnant females of all age groups from all Syrian governorates. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge of pre-eclampsia and its associated factors, symptoms, and complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 706 participants were involved in this research, with a mean age of 38.22. Only 52.1% of them reported that they had heard of preeclampsia. Among the participants, 56.5% stated that they would not terminate a pregnancy if they were determined to be likely to develop preeclampsia, while nearly 55.2% agreed to continue the pregnancy rather than deliver prematurely even if their where a potential risk on their health risks. Participants who reported a family history of PE or had already experienced PE were more likely to have appropriate preeclampsia knowledge than those who did not (OR\u2009=\u20092.27, OR\u2009=\u20093.18, respectively). Respondents aged 25 to 35 years had the highest knowledge scores, and participants living in cities scored higher knowledge than rural residents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>According to our findings, pregnant women in Syria have a awareness gaps regarding the PE topic. This highlights the need to enhance women\u2019s preeclampsia understanding for better pregnancy outcomes.
