Assessment of All-Cause Cancer Incidence Among Individuals With Preeclampsia or Eclampsia During First Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Preeclampsia or eclampsia (preeclampsia/eclampsia) during pregnancy induces major physiological changes and may be associated with specific cancer occurrences in later life. The current data regarding the association between preeclampsia/eclampsia and cancer are heterogeneous, and cancer risk after preeclampsia/eclampsia could be different depending on the organ. These uncertainties warrant reexamination of the association between preeclampsia/eclampsia and the risk of cancer overall and by specific cancer type.

Objective

To evaluate the risk of cancer, overall and by type, after preeclampsia/eclampsia during a first pregnancy.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study used data from the French hospital discharge database to identify
