He Y, Xie J, Guo Y, Ma J, Wang X, Lv Y, Wu S, Wei S, Xie X, Wang B. The potential of repeated mean arterial pressure measurements for predicting early- and late-onset pre-eclampsia in twin pregnancies: Prediction model study. Int J Gynaecol Obstet 2024. [PMID: 39072715 DOI: 10.1002/ijgo.15825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the contribution of longitudinal mean arterial pressure (MAP) measurement during the first, second, and third trimesters of twin pregnancies to the prediction of pre-eclampsia. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted on women with twin pregnancies. Historical data between 2019 and 2021 were analyzed, including maternal characteristics and mean artery pressure measurements were obtained at 11-13, 22-24, and 28-33 weeks of gestation. The outcome measures included pre-eclampsia with delivery <34 and ≥34 weeks of gestation. Models were developed using logistic regression, and predictive performance was evaluated using the area under the curve, detection rate at a given false-positive rate of 10%, and calibration plots. Internal validation was conducted via bootstrapping. RESULTS A total of 943 twin pregnancies, including 36 (3.82%) women who experienced early-onset pre-eclampsia and 93 (9.86%) who developed late-onset pre-eclampsia, were included in this study. To forecast pre-eclampsia during the third trimester, the most accurate prediction for early-onset pre-eclampsia resulted from a combination of maternal factors and MAP measured during this trimester. The optimal predictive model for late-onset pre-eclampsia includes maternal factors and MAP data collected during the second and third trimesters. The areas under the curve were 0.937 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.894-0.981) and 0.887 (95% CI 0.852-0.921), respectively. The corresponding detection rates were 83.33% (95% CI 66.53%-93.04%) for early-onset pre-eclampsia and 68.82% (95% CI 58.26%-77.80%) for late-onset pre-eclampsia. CONCLUSION Repeated measurements of MAP during pregnancy significantly improved the accuracy of late-onset pre-eclampsia prediction in twin pregnancies. The integration of longitudinal data into pre-eclampsia screening may be an effective and valuable strategy.

Preeclampsia prediction model using demographic, clinical, and sonographic data in the second trimester of Japanese nulliparous women. J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2024; 50:395-402. [PMID: 38109933 DOI: 10.1111/jog.15861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to clarify the factors influencing preeclampsia (PE) development in nulliparous Japanese women and to develop a PE prediction model using second trimester sonographic and clinical data readily available to obstetricians. METHODS This historical cohort study examined the obstetric records of nulliparous women who delivered at Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital from January 2019 to May 2023. A model was constructed to predict the PE development rate, with a focus on 796 nulliparous women. The assessed outcome was PE, excluding superimposed PE. Data on maternal age, assisted reproductive technology, mean arterial pressure, uterine artery notching, and umbilical artery resistance index were extracted. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted on these five factors. RESULTS The incidence of PE was 4.3% (34/796). Multivariable analysis indicated significant odds ratios for the association of PE with mean arterial pressure (adjusted odds ratio: 1.06, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.10) and uterine artery notching (adjusted odds ratio: 6.28, 95% confidence interval: 2.82-14.0) in nulliparous women. The PE prediction formula was established as follows: Probability of PE development (%) = (odds/1 + odds) × 100, odds = ex and x = -11.3 + 0.039 × maternal age (years) + 0.91 × assisted reproductive technology + 0.061 × mean arterial pressure (mmHg) + 1.84 × uterine artery notching + 1.84 × umbilical artery resistance index. The sensitivity and specificity of this model were 58.8% and 84.5%, respectively (area under the curve: 0.79). CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to provide a prediction formula targeting the Japanese population. Our specialized model for nulliparous women could guide obstetricians to educate women regarding the precise prospect of PE development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific condition featured by high blood pressure, edema, and proteinuria. Research about the role of microRNA (miR)-203 in PE remains insufficient. This experiment is designed to investigate the specific role of miR-203 in trophoblasts in PE. STUDY DESIGN miR-203 expression in placenta tissues of normal pregnant women and PE patients was examined to analyze the relevance between miR-203 and PE diagnostic efficiency and between miR-203 and blood pressure (systolic pressure and diastolic pressure) and proteinuria of PE patients. miR-203 expression was downregulated in hypoxia-cultured trophoblasts using miR-203 inhibitor to assess matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level. Then, the angiogenesis of trophoblasts with different treatments was determined. Subsequently, the target relation between miR-203 and insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R) was predicted and verified. Additionally, the effect of IGF-1R in the mechanism of miR-203 modulating trophoblast vascular remodeling was detected. RESULTS miR-203 was overexpressed in the placenta of PE patients and it acted as a promising diagnostic indicator for PE. Moreover, miR-203 was positively associated with blood pressure (systolic pressure and diastolic pressure) and proteinuria of PE patients. miR-203 silencing in hypoxia-cultured trophoblasts enhanced trophoblast vascular remodeling. Mechanically, miR-203 bound to IGF-1R to suppress its transcription. IGF-1R downregulation counteracted the promotive effect of miR-203 silencing on trophoblast vascular remodeling. CONCLUSION miR-203 was overexpressed in PE, and it targeted IGF-1R to limit trophoblast vascular remodeling. KEY POINTS · miR-203 is overexpressed in the placenta of PE patients.. · miR-203 acts as a potential diagnostic marker for PE.. · miR-203 targets IGF-1R to reduce trophoblast vascular remodeling in PE..

[PMID: 37801800 DOI: 10.1016/j.preghy.2023.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To find out the predictive value of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for antenatal risk stratification (ARS) of women at high risk of preeclampsia (PE). METHODS Antenatal women at high risk of PE underwent sFlt-1/PlGF ratio at 20-22, 28-30 and 34-36 weeks and were followed till delivery. Those who developed PE were cases those who had normal outcome were controls, the cases and controls were compared. RESULTS Hypertension in pregnancy was seen in 116/287 (40.4 %), 46/287(16.0 %) had PE and 21(7.3 %) had early onset PE. Mean arterial pressure at 20-22 weeks was the high in those who developed early onset PE (109.08 ± 9.74 mmHg). The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio of 38 or more at 20-22 weeks resulted in either PE or adverse fetal outcome in all cases. Whereas, the ratio of less than 38 ruled out PE in all cases up to 29 + 6 weeks. At 28-30 weeks, the ratio less than 38 predicted no PE up to 34 weeks and no complication up to 29+6 weeks. The sensitivity for the detection at later gestation further decreased as the gestation advanced however the specificity was above 98 % at all gestations. The positive predictive value of the test increased with the advancing gestation, the negative predictive value was 93 % or higher at all gestations. CONCLUSION The usefulness of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio ≥38 for risk stratification was validated in the study, the testing at 28-30 weeks appeared to be the best time to test for PE prediction in high risk women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ad fontes, the status of the thyroid gland, and metabolic disturbance lead to the alteration of oxygenation. In pregnancy, it is particularly crucial to possess all predictive parameters. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia, between 2017 and 2021 which study included a total of 99 women who had been admitted for preterm delivery and had undergone thyroid analysis, detected Hashimoto thyroiditis, and Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) 40 days after delivery and had pathological Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Response (HOMA IR) indices. In the group of urgent patients with preterm delivery, we looked after not only routine Doppler of the umbilical artery, but we measured specific ratios such as the Cerebroplacental ratio (CP). RESULTS The mean maternal age was 32.23 ± 5.96 years and the mean gestational age was detected as 35.40 ± 2.39 weeks. The delivery was completed vaginally in 77 women (78%) and surgically in 22 (22%). The Mean APGAR score was 8.44 ± 1.18, the mean birth weight was 2666.87 ± 622.17g and the cases undergoing cesarean section had significantly higher values of pulsatility index (1.85 ± 0.27 vs. 1.34 ± 0.31) and CP (1.22 ± 0.26 vs. 0.47 ± 0.17). CONCLUSIONS The introduction of Doppler sonography for blood flow assessment helps to form a complete clinical description of the patient, particularly in conditions where oxidative stress became provocative by the thyroid gland antibodies and gestational diabetes in Thyroidology.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to identify the optimal cutoff values of each component of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the first trimester of pregnancy for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS A total of 1076 pregnant women in the first trimester of gestation were recruited in this prospective longitudinal cohort study. Specifically, 993 pregnant women at 11-13 weeks of gestation who were followed up until the end of pregnancy were included in the final analysis. The cutoff values of each component of MetS in the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes including gestational diabetes (GDM), gestational hypertensive disorders, and preterm birth were obtained via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis using the Youden's index. RESULTS Among the 993 pregnant women studied, the significant associations between the first trimester MetS components and adverse pregnancy outcomes were as follows: triglyceride (TG) and body mass index (BMI) with preterm birth; mean arterial pressure (MAP), TG, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with gestational hypertensive disorders; BMI, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and TG with GDM (all p values < 0.05). The cutoff point values for the above-mentioned MetS components were: TG > 138 mg/dl and BMI < 21 kg/m2 for the occurrence of preterm birth; TG > 148 mg/dL, MAP > 84, and HDL-C < 84 mg/dl for gestational hypertensive disorders; BMI > 25 kg/m2, FPG > 84 mg/dl, and TG > 161 mg/dl for GDM. CONCLUSION The study findings imply the importance of early management of metabolic syndrome in pregnancy to improve maternal-fetal outcomes.

Abstract
Cooking and heating using solid fuels can result in dangerous levels of exposure to household air pollution (HAP). HAPIN is an ongoing randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of a liquified petroleum gas stove and fuel intervention on HAP exposure and health in Guatemala, India, Peru, and Rwanda among households that rely primarily on solid cooking fuels. Given the potential impacts of HAP exposure on cardiovascular outcomes during pregnancy, we seek to characterize the relationship between personal exposures to HAP and blood pressure among pregnant women at baseline (prior to intervention) in the study. We assessed associations between PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm), BC (black carbon), and CO (carbon monoxide) exposures and blood pressure at baseline, prior to intervention, among 3195 pregnant women between 9 and 19 weeks of gestation. We measured 24-hour personal exposure to PM2.5/BC/CO and gestational blood pressure. Multivariable linear regression models were used to evaluate associations between personal exposures to three air pollutants and blood pressure parameters. Trial-wide, we found moderate increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and decreases in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as exposure to PM2.5, BC, and CO increased. None of these associations, however, were significant at the 0.05 level. HAP exposure and blood pressure associations were inconsistent in direction and magnitude within each country. We observed effect modification by body mass index (BMI) in India and Peru. Compared to women with normal weights, obese women in India and Peru (but not in Rwanda or Guatemala) had higher SBP per unit increase in log transformed PM2.5 and BC exposures. We did not find a cross-sectional association between HAP exposure and blood pressure in pregnant women; however, HAP may be associated with higher blood pressure in pregnant women who are obese, but this increase was not consistent across settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 3 to 4 billion people worldwide are exposed to household air pollution, which has been associated with increased blood pressure (BP) in pregnant women in some studies. METHODS We recruited 3195 pregnant women in Guatemala, India, Peru, and Rwanda and randomly assigned them to intervention or control groups. The intervention group received a gas stove and fuel during pregnancy, while the controls continued cooking with solid fuels. We measured BP and personal exposure to PM2.5, black carbon and carbon monoxide 3× during gestation. We conducted an intention-to-treat and exposure-response analysis to determine if household air pollution exposure was associated with increased gestational BP. RESULTS Median 24-hour PM2.5 dropped from 84 to 24 μg/m3 after the intervention; black carbon and carbon monoxide decreased similarly. Intention-to-treat analyses showed an increase in systolic BP and diastolic BP in both arms during gestation, as expected, but the increase was greater in intervention group for both systolic BP (0.69 mm Hg [0.03-1.35]; P=0.04) and diastolic BP (0.62 mm Hg [0.05-1.19]; P=0.03). The exposure-response analyses suggested that higher exposures to household air pollution were associated with moderately higher systolic BP and diastolic BP; however, none of these associations reached conventional statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS In intention-to-treat, we found higher gestational BP in the intervention group compared with controls, contrary to expected. In exposure-response analyses, we found a slight increase in BP with higher exposure, but it was not statistically significant. Overall, an intervention with gas stoves did not markedly affect gestational BP.

Abstract
Objectives—To conduct a secondary analysis of prediction accuracy of biophysical markers for suspected Preeclampsia (PE), Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) and the two combined near delivery in a Slovenian cohort. Methods—This was a secondary analysis of a database of a total 125 Slovenian pregnant women attending a high-risk pregnancy clinic due to suspected PE (n = 31), FGR (n = 16) and PE + FGR (n = 42) from 28–39 weeks gestation and their corresponding term (n = 21) and preterm (PTD, n = 15) controls. Data for Mean Arterial blood Pressure (MAP) and Uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA PI) estimated by Doppler sonography were extracted from the database of patients who were tested at admission to the high-risk clinic with the suspected complications. The reactive hyperemia index (RHI), and the Augmentation Index (AIX%) were extracted from the patient database using measured values obtained with the assistance of the Endo PAT, a device set to measure the signal of the peripheral arterial tone (PAT) from the blood vessels endothelium. Linear regression coefficients, Box and Whisker plots, Area under the Curve (AUC) of receiver Operation Characteristic (ROC) curves, and multiple regression were used to assess the marker accuracy using detection rate (DR) and false-positive rate (FPR) and previously reported cut-offs for estimating the positive and negative predictive value (NPV and PPV). The SPSS non-parametric statistics (Kruskal Wallis and Mann–Whitney) and Spearman’s regression coefficient were used to assess marker accuracy; p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results—MAP values reached diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 1.00, DR = 100%) for early PE cases delivered < 34, whereas UtA Doppler PI values yielded such results for early FGR < 34 weeks and the two combined reached such accuracy for PE + FGR. To reach diagnostic accuracy for all cases of the complications, the Endo PAT markers with values for MAP and UtA Doppler PI were required for cases near delivery. Multiple regression analyses showed added value for advanced maternal age and gestational week in risk assessment for all cases of PE, FGR, and PE + FGR. Spearman’s regression coefficient yielded r > 0.6 for UtA Doppler PI over GA for PE and FGR, whereas for RHI over BMI, the regression coefficient was r > 0.5 (p < 0.001 for each). Very high correlations were also found between UtA Doppler PI and sFlt-1/PlGF or PlGF (r = −0.495, p < 0.001), especially in cases of FGR. Conclusion—The classical biophysical markers MAP and UtA Doppler PI provided diagnostic accuracy for PE and FGR < 34 wks gestation. A multiple biophysical marker analysis was required to reach diagnostic accuracy for all cases of these complications. The UtA Doppler PI and maternal serum sFlt-1/PlGF or PlGF were equally accurate for early cases to enable the choice of the markers for the clinical use according to the more accessible method.

Abstract
Hypertension has become a leading cardiovascular risk factor worldwide. In this study, we explored the salutary effects and relevant mechanisms of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), an herbal plant with culinary and medicinal values, on high-fructose and high-salt diet (HFSD)-induced hypertension in SD rats. Our results showed that oral administration of coriander (1.0 or 2.0 g/kg·bw) effectively attenuated HFSD-induced elevation of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure. Coriander also increased the serum levels of vasodilator factors (PGI2, NO, and eNOS), decreased Na+ retention and serum uric acid (UA) level, and ameliorated glucolipid profiles. qPCR results revealed that coriander downregulated the mRNA expression of NHE3, a Na+/H+ exchanger responsible for Na+ absorption, in kidney and small intestine. 16S rDNA sequencing showed that coriander altered the gut microbiota composition with the beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium and Oscillibacter significantly enriched. Correlation analysis indicated that the abundance of Bifidobacterium was evidently correlated with levels of NHE3, NO, eNOS, and UA. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that coriander contained a variety of flavonoids including rutin and quercetin. Conclusively, long-term consumption of coriander may ameliorate HFSD-induced hypertension by mitigating HFSD-caused abnormal changes in vascular endothelial function, renal and intestinal sodium absorption, glucolipid homeostasis, and gut microbiota in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of oxidative stress on the gene expression of nitric oxide synthases (NOS 3 and NOS 2) and, hence, the cardiovascular responses in preeclampsia. METHODS This was a case control study in which patients with preeclampsia (PE group) and normal pregnancy controls (NP group) were included according to the guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity, and nitric oxide (NO) were estimated, and the heart rate and mean arterial pressure were recorded. The gene profiling of NOS3 and NOS2 was performed through real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The statistical analysis was performed using the Student t-test, and values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS The serum levels of malondialdehyde were increased (p < 0.0001), and the total antioxidant capacity was reduced in the PE group (p = 0.034), indicating oxidative stress. In the PE group, the mean arterial pressure was significantly higher (p < 0.0001), but the serum levels of NO did not show a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.20). The gene expression profiling of NOS3 and NOS2 revealed a down regulation in the PE group by 8.49 and 51.05 times respectively. CONCLUSION Oxidative stress may lead to endothelial dysfunction, which could result in increased mean arterial pressure. Nitric oxide may play a role in this mechanism, but interactions with other vasoactive /biological substances cannot be overlooked, as the gene expression of NOS3 and NOS2 has been reduced.

Evaluation of Cardiac Function of Pregnant Women with High Blood Pressure during Gestation Period and Coupling of Hearts with Peripheral Vessels by Ultrasonic Cardiogram under Artificial Intelligence Algorithm. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:5019153. [PMID: 35126627 PMCID: PMC8813232 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5019153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The research was aimed at analyzing the value of the optimized eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm-based ultrasound cardiogram images in the diagnosis of pregnant hypertension patients. A total of 145 pregnant women (85 cases suffered from hypertension disease during pregnancy and 60 other normal women were healthy) were selected as the reference to the comparison and analysis of ultrasound cardiac function parameter, common carotid artery parameter, and the coupling relationship between hearts and cervical vessels of pregnant hypertension patients. The results demonstrated ultrasound cardiac function parameter of pregnant hypertension patients as follows. The maximum volume of the left atrium (LAVmax) was 35.65 mm, left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) was 31.07 mm, and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) was 88.73 mm. All the above indexes were obviously higher than those of the normal control group (P < 0.05). Besides, intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid artery (465.84 μm), pulse wave velocity (PWV) (8.09 m/s), pressure of turning point 1 from isovolumic contraction phase to ejection phase (PT1) (126.5 mmHg), arterial enhancement pressure (AP) (6.14 mmHg), and arterial pressure enhancement index (8.58%) were all significantly higher than those of the normal control group (P < 0.05). In addition, the correlation between the coupling (E/A) of hearts and carotid artery of pregnant hypertension patients and PWV was not obvious (r = -0.08432, P > 0.05). The results of the research indicated that intima-media inside carotid artery of pregnant hypertension patients thickened obviously, and it became less elastic compared with that of normal healthy pregnant women. What is more, cardiac morphological changes were manifested mainly as the enlargement of the left atrial chamber and the thickening of the interventricular septum. Volume load and blood flow velocity both increased, and left ventricular diastolic function was damaged. XGBoost algorithm-based ultrasound cardiogram images could improve the diagnostic effects of hypertension during pregnancy effectively.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy disorder characterized by excessive trophoblast cell death. This study aims to explore the exact mechanism of the ubiquitination level of FUN14 domain containing 1 (FUNDC1) in mitophagy and injury in hypoxic trophoblast cells. In this study, HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells were cultured under normoxic and hypoxic conditions and PE mouse model was established. We found low ubiquitination level of FUNDC1 in hypoxic trophoblast cells and placenta of pregnant women with PE. Proteasome inhibitor MG-132 and protease activator MF-094 were added into HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells. Proteasome inhibitor MG-132 decreased FUNDC1 ubiquitination level while protease activator MF-094 increased FUNDC1 ubiquitination level. Inhibition of FUNDC1 ubiquitination promoted mitophagy and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) in normoxic trophoblast cells, increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreased levels of glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In addition, FUNDC1 ubiquitination alleviated cell injury in PE mice in vivo. In conclusion, increased FUNDC1 ubiquitination level inhibited mitophagy and Δψm changes in hypoxic trophoblast cells, and thus alleviated oxidative injury.

Abstract
Background High blood pressure during pregnancy has been suggested to be associated with adverse birth outcomes (ABO), but it is unclear how different blood pressure changes and the extent of the effect. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between blood pressure trajectories (systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse pressure (PP)) of pregnant women and ABO in a real-world study. Material and Methods Leveraging 28,679 pregnant women and their fetuses from a register-based cohort from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019. Blood pressure trajectories were estimated by package “traj” in R software using real-world blood pressure data of routine antenatal care examinations. Logistic regression models were applied to examine the association between trajectories of different blood pressure components (SBP, DBP, MAP, and PP) during pregnancy and the risk of ABO. Results Trajectories of all blood pressure components were identically labeled as low-stable, moderate-increasing, moderate-decreasing and high-stable. After adjusting for confounding factors, compared with pregnant women with the low-stable pattern, pregnant women with a high-stable or moderate-increasing pattern had a significantly increased risk of developing adverse birth outcomes. Pregnant women with a moderate-decreasing pattern had no significant increased risk of ABO but had a lower risk of adverse birth outcomes than those with a moderate-increasing pattern. The trajectories crossed at 17–20 weeks of gestation for all blood pressure components. Conclusion Our study results indicated that reduction and maintenance of blood pressure to a low level of less than 110 mmHg for SBP and 65 mmHg for DBP after 20 weeks of gestation would benefit prevention of adverse birth outcomes, regardless of the level of blood pressure at early pregnancy.

Early pregnancy stage 1 hypertension and high mean arterial pressure increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in Shanghai, China. J Hum Hypertens 2021; 36:917-924. [PMID: 33758345 DOI: 10.1038/s41371-021-00523-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Revised: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the influence of early pregnancy stage 1 hypertension and mean arterial pressure (MAP) on the risk of pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Pregnant women without early pregnancy hypertension were consecutively recruited in 2010 in Shanghai, China. Total 6104 women with blood pressure (BP) <140/90 mmHg were categorized according to early pregnancy BP and MAP levels, respectively. Multivariate adjusted logistic regression and cox regression was used to test the potential associations. Finally 313 (5.1%) pregnant women identified as stage 1 hypertension. Compared with normotensive women, women with early pregnancy stage 1 hypertension increased the risk of gestational hypertension (GH) [Adjust odds ratio (AOR) 2.295, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.578-3.338], GDM [AOR 1.185, 95% CI 1.010-1.391], preeclampsia [AOR 2.295 95% CI 1.578-3.338], preterm delivery [AOR 1.326, 95% CI 1.026-1.713]and infants with low-birth weight [AOR 1.487, 95% CI 1.082-2.045]; Compared women with MAP < 76 mmHg, the risk of GDM increased, with an adjust hazard ratio (AHR) of 1.387 (95%CI 1.048-1.835) for 76 ≤ MAP < 88 mmHg and an AHR of 1.451 (95%CI 1.053-1.998) for MAP ≥ 88 mmHg. Especially, high MAP levels (≥ 88 mmHg) are associated with GH [AOR 2.775, 95%CI 1.805-4.266], preeclampsia [AOR 3.936, 95%CI 2.358-6.570] and preterm delivery [AOR 1.412, 95%CI 1.035-1.926]. In summary early pregnancy stage 1 hypertension is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Relative higher BP levels in early pregnancy, especially elevated MAP levels should be aware by clinicians to decrease the risk of pregnancy complications.
