Article Synopsis
- Preeclampsia is a serious condition affecting pregnant women, and the study aimed to explore if calcium-based antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) could lower its risk.
- The study involved over 9,000 pregnant women and analyzed their use of these medications at different stages of pregnancy to see if there were any associations with late-onset preeclampsia.
- Ultimately, the results indicated that neither calcium-based antacids nor PPIs were effective in reducing the risk of late-onset preeclampsia during pregnancy.
Objectives: We aimed to validate Web-based questionnaires for the common pregnancy complications gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia.
Study Design And Setting: We included 1,809 women participating in the PRegnancy and Infant DEvelopment (PRIDE) Study who delivered in 2012-2017, for whom relevant data were complete. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of self-reported diagnoses of gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia were determined using obstetric records as reference standard.
