Abstract
Objective
To compare the rates of preeclampsia between obstetric patients with stage I hypertension and those who are normotensive. Secondary aims include identifying risk factors for preeclampsia within the stage I hypertension cohort and comparing the rates of other adverse pregnancy outcomes between cohorts.
Study design
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of individuals who delivered from January 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019, at a single academic center. Patients were assigned to cohorts comprised of normotensive pregnant patients and those with stage I hypertension prior to 20 weeks gestation. Stage I hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 130–139 mmHg, a diastolic blood pressure of 80–89 mmHg, or both. Differences in outcomes were evaluated using t- tests and logistic regression models.
Results
A total of 540 patients were included, 68 of whom were identified as having stage I hypertension. Among patients with stage I hypertension in pregnancy, 19 % developed preeclampsia compared to 10 % of normotensive patients (Odds Ratio (OR) = 2.14; p = 0.028). The odds of gestational diabetes (OR = 2.65, p = 0.01) and gestational hypertension (OR = 7.99, p < 0.001) were also increased in the stage I hypertension cohort. Of the patients with stage I hypertension, a history of gestational diabetes was the only risk factor associated with subsequent development of preeclampsia (OR = 7.95, p = 0.034).
Conclusion
In our cohort, stage I hypertension prior to 20 weeks was associated with a significant increased rate of preeclampsia, gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes compared to normotensive patients.
期刊介绍:
Pregnancy Hypertension: An International Journal of Women''s Cardiovascular Health aims to stimulate research in the field of hypertension in pregnancy, disseminate the useful results of such research, and advance education in the field.
We publish articles pertaining to human and animal blood pressure during gestation, hypertension during gestation including physiology of circulatory control, pathophysiology, methodology, therapy or any other material relevant to the relationship between elevated blood pressure and pregnancy. The subtitle reflects the wider aspects of studying hypertension in pregnancy thus we also publish articles on in utero programming, nutrition, long term effects of hypertension in pregnancy on cardiovascular health and other research that helps our understanding of the etiology or consequences of hypertension in pregnancy. Case reports are not published unless of exceptional/outstanding importance to the field.
