Fetal growth restriction as a diagnostic criterion for preeclampsia.

Objectives: Currently, no unified set of criteria to classify preeclampsia (PE) exists. Further, no consensus has been reached whether fetal growth restriction (FGR) should be included in diagnostic criteria for PE. We examined the adequacy of including FGR in diagnostic criteria for PE.

Efficacy of expectant management of severe preeclampsia and preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension before 34 weeks gestation.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of chronic hypertension on expectant management for preeclampsia (PE).

Study Design: Pregnant women who were diagnosed with severe PE before 34 weeks of gestation between 2005 and 2016 and managed at a tertiary center were the subjects of the study. Mothers were classified into two groups: a severe superimposed PE (SSP) group and a severe PE (SP) group.
