Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for preeclampsia (PE) in women with pregestational diabetes by analyzing maternal characteristics during pregnancy.
- Preeclampsia was diagnosed in 30% of the examined women, with chronic hypertension and systolic blood pressure over 124 mmHg being significant independent risk factors.
- The findings suggest a need for close monitoring of blood pressure and gestational weight gain, and early use of low-dose aspirin may benefit women at higher risk for PE.
Objective: To evaluate pregnancy outcomes among women with pre-gestational diabetes.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of pregnant women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes attending a university hospital in Brazil. Maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared among deliveries between May 1, 2005, and December 31, 2010, and between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2015.
