Chourdakis E, Fouzas S, Papadopoulou C, et al. - In this prospective case-control study, researchers analyzed the impact of early-onset preeclampsia on the blood pressure of offspring during the first month of life. The sample consisted of 106 neonates of mothers with early-onset preeclampsia (developing at < 34 weeks of gestation) and 106 infants of normotensive mothers, matched 1-to-1 for sex and gestational age. No differences were found in blood pressure values on admission and the first day of life between cases and controls. In comparison, infants exposed to preeclampsia had significantly higher systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure (MBP) on the subsequent days up to the fourth postnatal week. Infants of mothers with early-onset preeclampsia have raised blood pressure values throughout the neonatal period relative to infants born to normotensive mothers.
