Abstract:
The aim of present study was to establish the baseline data for pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). From November 2000 through October 2001, a total of 212 women diagnosed as PIH and delivered at Samsung Cheil Hospital were included in this study. We reviewed the obstetric and neonatal records, then analyzed the incidence, maternal complications, and neonatal outcomes according to the severity of PIH. The incidence of PIH was 2.6% (mild and severe form was 59% and 41%, respectively). In maternal age, parity, number of fetus (singletone or multiple pregnancy), and gestational diabetus, there was no significant different incidence between mild and severe form of PIH. But, the women with severe PIH delivered more frequently at 21~28 and 33~36 gestational weeks than in mild form (p<0.05). Among fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), a group with birth weight below the population 5 percentile was more frequent in severe than in mild form of PIH (p0.05). As to maternal, fetal and neonatal complications of PIH, maternal anemia, preterm labor, and IUGR were more frequently founded in severe form of PIH than in mild. We could not found significant different frequency in other complication (disseminated intravascular coagulation, abruptio placenta, pulmonary edema, low apgar score, meconium stained, respiratory distress syndrome, and intracranial hemorrhage) between mild and severe form of PIH.
