Association between maternal and neonatal biochemical variables at delivery in pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders: a retrospective chart review in a tertiary referral unit.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between maternal and neonatal biochemical variables in babies born to mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and admitted to the neonatal unit within 24 hours of delivery.

Design

Retrospective chart review study.

Setting

Specialised antenatal hypertension clinic and neonatal unit in a tertiary unit referral hospital.

Patients

Pregnancies complicated with HDP (N=282) and their neonates if admitted to the neonatal unit within 24 hours of delivery.

Interventions

We examined the association between maternal and neonatal biochemical variables, after controlling for maternal, neonatal and pregnancy characteristics.

Results

There were strong associations and independent prediction of neonatal levels by
