Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the association between maternal hypertension (HTN) exposure and neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of 2,162 neonates admitted to 24 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Neonates were classified into the following exposure groups: any maternal HTN, chronic maternal HTN, preeclampsia/eclampsia, both, or neither. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and AKI status were compared using Chi-square and analysis of variance. General estimating logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios and included a stratified analysis for site of delivery. RESULT Neonates exposed to any maternal HTN disorder had a tendency toward less overall and early AKI. When stratified by inborn versus outborn, exposure to both maternal HTN disorders was associated with a significantly reduced odds of early AKI only in the inborn neonates. CONCLUSION Exposure to maternal HTN, especially preeclampsia/eclampsia superimposed on chronic HTN, was associated with less likelihood of early AKI in the inborn group. KEY POINTS · Maternal HTN is associated with less neonatal AKI.. · Maternal HTN category is variably associated with AKI.. · Inborn status is an important contributor to this association..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) on the mortality and neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (BW ≤1,500 g) based on their intrauterine growth status and gestational age (GA). STUDY DESIGN We included singleton VLBW infants born at <32 weeks' gestation registered in the Neonatal Research Network Japan database. The composite outcomes including death, cerebral palsy (CP), and developmental delay (DD) at 3 years of age were retrospectively compared among three groups: appropriate for GA (AGA) infants of mothers with and without HDP (H-AGA and N-AGA) and small for GA (SGA) infants of mothers with HDP (H-SGA). The adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) stratified by the groups of every two gestational weeks were calculated after adjusting for the center, year of birth, sex, maternal age, maternal diabetes, antenatal steroid use, clinical chorioamnionitis, premature rupture of membranes, non-life-threatening congenital anomalies, and GA. RESULTS Of 19,323 eligible infants, outcomes were evaluated in 10,192 infants: 683 were H-AGA, 1,719 were H-SGA, and 7,790 were N-AGA. Between H-AGA and N-AGA, no significant difference was observed in the risk for death, CP, or DD in any GA groups. H-AGA had a lower risk for death, CP, or DD than H-SGA in the 24 to 25 weeks group (AOR: 0.434, 95% CI: 0.202-0.930). The odds for death, CP, or DD of H-SGA against N-AGA were found to be higher in the 24 to 25 weeks (AOR: 2.558, 95% CI: 1.558-3.272) and 26 to 27 weeks (AOR: 1.898, 95% CI: 1.427-2.526) groups, but lower in the 30 to 31 weeks group (AOR: 0.518, 95% CI: 0.335-0.800). CONCLUSION There was a lack of follow-up data; however, the outcomes of liveborn preterm VLBW infants of mothers with HDP depended on their intrauterine growth status and GA at birth. KEY POINTS · The effects of HDP on preterm low birth weight infants need to be further examined.. · The outcomes were not different between AGA infants with and without maternal HDP.. · The outcomes of SGA infants with maternal HDP were dependent on their GA..

Neonatal outcomes of twins <29 weeks gestation of mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Pediatr Res 2022; 92:748-753. [PMID: 35383262 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-022-02044-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with dysfunctional placentation and are a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Twin pregnancies have a larger placental mass and are a risk factor for HDP. The effect of HDP on neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies is unknown. METHODS Retrospective cohort study using the Canadian Neonatal Network database from 2010-2018 of twin infants <29 weeks gestation born to mothers with HDP and normotensive pregnancies. Using multivariable models, we determined adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for mortality, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, severe neurologic injury, severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), necrotizing enterocolitis, and nosocomial infection in twin infants of mothers with HDP compared to twin infants of normotensive mothers. RESULTS Of the 2414 eligible twin infants <29 weeks gestational age, 164 (6.8%) were born to mothers with HDP and had higher odds of severe ROP (AOR 2.48, 95% CI 1.34-4.59). Preterm twin infants born to mothers with HDP also had higher odds of mortality (AOR 2.02, 95% CI 1.23-3.32). There was no difference in other outcomes. CONCLUSION Preterm twin infants <29 weeks gestation of HDP mothers have higher odds of severe ROP and mortality. IMPACT Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, associated with placental dysfunction, are a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Twin pregnancy, associated with a larger placental mass, is a risk factor for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The effect of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on outcomes of preterm twins is unknown. Preterm twins of mothers with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are at higher risk of severe retinopathy of prematurity and mortality. Our data can be used to counsel parents and identify infants at higher risk of severe retinopathy of prematurity and mortality.

Abstract
There is a lack of knowledge on the intersection between prematurity, small for gestational age, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to examine the outcomes of preterm infants who were small for gestational age born to women with HDP. Searches were conducted with no date restriction through the final search date of May 13, 2020, in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature Plus with Full Text (EBSCOhost), and Embase (Elsevier). A total of 6 studies were eligible for this review. The adjusted odds of mortality and necrotizing enterocolitis were significantly lower in the pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)/HDP group than in the non-PIH/HDP group. There was no significant difference in the odds of respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and intraventricular hemorrhage between PIH/HDP and non-PIH/HDP groups. There was no significant difference between PIH/HDP and non-PIH/HDP groups in cystic periventricular leukomalacia, retinopathy of prematurity, late-onset sepsis, patent ductus arteriosus, length of hospital stays, duration of supplemental oxygen use, duration of mechanical ventilation, and continuous airway pressure. The studies included in this systematic review demonstrated that PIH/HDP is associated with lower infant mortality and necrotizing enterocolitis.

Abstract
We develop an approach to risk classification based on quantile contours and allometric modelling of multivariate anthropometric measurements. We propose the definition of allometric direction tangent to the directional quantile envelope, which divides ratios of measurements into half-spaces. This in turn provides an operational definition of directional quantile that can be used as cutoff for risk assessment. We show the application of the proposed approach using a large dataset from the Vermont Oxford Network containing observations of birthweight (BW) and head circumference (HC) for more than 150,000 preterm infants. Our analysis suggests that disproportionately growth-restricted infants with a larger HC-to-BW ratio are at increased mortality risk as compared to proportionately growth-restricted infants. The role of maternal hypertension is also investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a major cause of small for gestational age (SGA). Preterm SGA infants have higher rates of adverse outcomes than appropriate for gestational age infants. However, the outcomes are not well established in the setting of HDP. METHODS Retrospective population-based study using the Canadian Neonatal Network database from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2016 of SGA infants <33 weeks gestation. Using multivariable models, we determined the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for mortality, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), severe retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, late-onset sepsis, and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in infants of HDP mothers and compared them to infants of non-HDP mothers. RESULTS Of the 2081 eligible SGA infants, 1317 (63%) were born to HDP mothers and had lower odds of mortality (AOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.39-0.83) and BPD (AOR 0.69, 95% CI 0.53-0.90). Sub-group analysis demonstrated decreased mortality in 26-28 and 29-32 weeks gestation groups, decreased BPD in 29-32 weeks gestation group, and decreased PDA in <26 weeks gestation group. CONCLUSION Preterm SGA infants of HDP mothers have lower odds of mortality and BPD compared to infants of non-HDP mothers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To describe the association between maternal hypertension (chronic and gestational, MH) and mortality in very preterm singletons and twins, focusing on how estimates depend on gestational age (GA) and size at birth. METHODS We estimated relative risks of in-hospital death in 12,320 singletons (MH: 22.4%) and 4381 twins (MH: 10.6%) born at 23-29 weeks in the Italian Neonatal Network (89 hospitals, 2008-2016). RESULTS Babies with MH had higher GA and were more frequently small-for-gestational age (SGA), especially singletons. In crude analyses, MH was associated with lower mortality in singletons. In multivariable analyses, the effects of GA and size differed between twins and singletons with and without MH. The best-fitting models included continuous birth weight (rather than SGA) and were stratified by GA. In these models, MH was associated with lower mortality in singletons-but not twins-born after week 25. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of very preterm infants, the association between MH and mortality differed between singletons and twins and across strata of GA at birth. These estimates cannot be interpreted causally, but suggest that, from a descriptive/predictive standpoint, singletons with MH born after week 25 have lower mortality than singletons born to women without MH.
