Perinatal Outcome and Its Association with Blood Pressure Levels in Women with Preeclampsia.

ABSTRACT: Background: Timing and mode of delivery in women with preeclampsia remains challenging, often balancing the risk of severe maternal complications and preterm delivery with its risks for the newborn. It is known that women with very high blood pressure levels in pregnancy have more unfavourable outcomes, but there is little data on neonatal outcome in these cases and the effect of the delivery mode. Methods: We included 158 preeclamptic women in our single-centre retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into three subgroups depending on blood pressure levels, and delivery mode as well as neonatal outcomes were analysed. Furthermore, the effect of gestational age at delivery was assessed. Results: Maternal blood pressure levels correlated negatively with gestational age at delivery
