The study was conducted in line with the PRISMA-DTA guidelines. The PICOS framework was used to search for relevant articles using Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases. The articles were screened against a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria and analysed using the Review Manager 5.4 software.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A title, abstract and full article screening was conducted on 18,153 potential articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The screening yielded five articles for meta-analysis. The total number of normotensive pregnant women (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093,380) in the included studies was five times higher than the total number of women with pre-eclampsia (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009535). A difference between the HDP and normotensive group was noted. This is indicated by a significantly decreased in the effectiveness of CRDPT in detecting HDP as compared to normotensive group [Risk Ratio (RR)\u2009=\u20096.32 (2.17, 18.43)\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001].
