ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to determine neonatal outcomes according to laboratory and clinical features in preeclampsia before 35 weeks gestation.METHODS:
The medical records of all patients delivered at the hospital from January 1, 1996 through March 31, 2002 were reviewed for the occurrence of preeclampsia before 35 weeks gestation. We compared their maternal medical and obstetric courses and neonatal outcomes with those in a group of non preeclamptic patients who delivered at similar gestational ages.RESULTS:
The preeclampsia group had lower mean birth weight, 1-minute Apgar score and umbilical arterial pH. But there were no difference in the incidence of neonatal death, respiratory distress syndrome, grade 3 and 4 intraventricular hemorrhage, and culture-proven sepsis. Results were similar when analysis was limited to infants born before 32 weeks.CONCLUSION:
Maternal preeclampsia does not improve neonatal outcome of infants born before 35 weeks gestation.
