Effects of pregnancy-induced hypertension on early-onset neonatal thrombocytopenia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are potentially linked to similar pathophysiological processes. Maternal preeclampsia increases the occurrence of early-onset neonatal thrombocytopenia. We hypothesized that maternal gestational hypertension may impact the incident early-onset neonatal thrombocytopenia.

Methods

We included 538 neonates, comprising 318 and 220 neonates born to healthy mothers and those with pregnancy-induced hypertension. The minimum platelet count within 72 h of birth was recorded for these neonates. The incidence of early-onset thrombocytopenia in neonates in relation to maternal gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and health status was evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between maternal g
