The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the main independent prognostic factors of negative maternal and fetal outcomes in a relatively large sample of pregnant outpatients (N=906) who were normotensive or affected by chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, or preeclampsia. Among the studied parameters, the ones significantly associated with negative maternal outcomes were a diagnosis of preeclampsia (vs other forms of hypertension or normotension) and higher serum uric acid level, while antihypertensive treatment, number of previous deliveries, and blood pressure (BP) control at deliveries seemed to be protective. Regarding negative fetal outcomes, the parameters significantly associated with a negative maternal outcome were a diagnosis of preeclampsia (vs other forms of hypertension or normotension) and mother pre-pregnancy body mass index, while antihypertensive treatment and BP control at delivery seemed to be protective. Specific patient characteristics should help to predict the risk of negative maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the main independent prognostic factors of negative maternal and fetal outcomes in a relatively large sample of pregnant outpatients (N=906) who were normotensive or affected by chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, or preeclampsia. Among the studied parameters, the ones significantly associated with negative maternal outcomes were a diagnosis of preeclampsia (vs other forms of hypertension or normotension) and higher serum uric acid level, while antihypertensive treatment, number of previous deliveries, and blood pressure (BP) control at deliveries seemed to be protective. Regarding negative fetal outcomes, the parameters significantly associated with a negative maternal outcome were a diagnosis of preeclampsia (vs other forms of hypertension or normotension) and mother pre-pregnancy body mass index, while antihypertensive treatment and BP control at delivery seemed to be protective. Specific patient characteristics should help to predict the risk of negative maternal and fetal outcomes.
