ABSTRACT
Preeclampsia is one of the most serious complications, and affecting about 3% of pregnancies. The aim of this study was to estimate the impact short duration of exposure to sperm on development of preeclampsia. The duration of sperm exposure with the biological father [cohabitation without barrier methods] <3, <6 months were evaluated among 120 primigravid women with preeclampsia and 120 women without preeclampsia in a case-control study. The short duration of exposure to sperm was more common in women with preeclampsia compared with controls [29.2 versus 14.2 for <3 months, adjOR 2.6 [95% Cl=1.32-5.13] and [45 versus 29.2 for <6 months, adjOR 2.4 [95% 01=1.35-4.32]. Regardless of the contraceptive method, short duration of cohabitation was more common in preeclamptic group [14.2 versus 5.8 for <3 months, adjOR 3.38 [95% Cl=1.28-8.92] and [29.7 versus 13.3 for <6 months, adjOR 2.64 [95% Cl=1.24-5.79]. It was concluded that short duration of exposure to sperm was more common in women with pree-clampsia compared with controls
