Prenatal Exposure to Preeclampsia and Long-Term Ophthalmic Morbidity of the Offspring.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this population-based study was to evaluate whether prenatal exposure to preeclampsia poses a risk for long-term ophthalmic morbidity. A population-based cohort analysis compared the risk of long-term ophthalmic morbidity among children who were prenatally exposed to preeclampsia and those who were not. The study population was composed of children who were born between the years 1991 and 2014 at a single tertiary medical center. Total ophthalmic hospitalization and time-to-event were both evaluated. A Kaplan-Meier survival curve was conducted to compare cumulative ophthalmic hospitalization incidence based on the severity of preeclampsia. Confounders were controlled using a Cox regression model. A total of 242,342 deliveries met the inclusion criteria, of which 7279 (3%) were d
