Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the phenotype of fetuses affected by amniotic band sequence (ABS) that were diagnosed at the Instituto Nacional de Perinatología Isidro Espinosa de los Reyes and to propose a new classification based on morphologic findings.
Material And Methods: Cases with a final diagnosis of amniotic band sequence, diagnosed between January 1993 and July 2010 in the Department of Maternal Fetal Medicine, were reviewed. Demographic, clinical, and periconceptional data were collected, and the defects were described and classified.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on gestational hypertension, which is common in pregnancy and how many women with it go on to develop chronic hypertension after pregnancy.
- Out of 196 patients diagnosed with gestational hypertension, only 6.6% progressed to chronic hypertension, with factors like older age, higher body mass index, and previous hypertensive issues being significantly linked to this progression.
- The findings suggest that monitoring these risk factors could help identify women at higher risk for developing chronic hypertension after experiencing gestational hypertension.
