Abstract
Objective: We evaluated the association between pre-hypertension (120-139 or 80-89 mmHg) in early pregnancy, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), and perinatal adverse outcomes. Methods: We included 14,066 pregnant women, treated between 2003 and 2019 in Japan. Based on a blood pressure chart review recorded before 20 weeks of gestation, we stratified participants into the prehypertension (n = 3,806) and normotensive (n = 10,260) groups. Results: Prehypertension, an independent risk factor for HDP in the multivariate analysis (P< 0.001), was significantly associated with preterm and small-for-gestational age infants. Conclusion: Prehypertension potentially confers a risk for adverse perinatal outcomes in apparently normal pregnancies.
期刊介绍:
Hypertension in Pregnancy is a refereed journal in the English language which publishes data pertaining to human and animal hypertension during gestation. Contributions concerning physiology of circulatory control, pathophysiology, methodology, therapy or any other material relevant to the relationship between elevated blood pressure and pregnancy are acceptable. Published material includes original articles, clinical trials, solicited and unsolicited reviews, editorials, letters, and other material deemed pertinent by the editors.
