ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine whether pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) may have any effect over premature (≤ 36) newborn infants blood pressure (BP). Material and methods: We conducted a comparative, prospective, analytic, cohort trial in a third level hospital facility. Infants born to a preeclamptic mother, with a gestational age ≤ 36 weeks were deemed acceptable for study entry, and newborn infants within the same gestational age group that were born from normotensive mothers were included as their controls. We performed several blood pressures determination at two sites: right arm and right leg at 24, 48 and 72 hours of life. The statistic analysis used were mean, standard deviation. For comparisons between groups we used χ2 and student test. Results: During the first 72 hours of life the systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure increased in both groups. However, the blood pressure determination at the right leg was statistically higher among the newborn infants from preeclamptic mothers than did in the control group. Conclusions: During the first 72 hours of life the right leg blood pressure, in the preeclamptic mother group, was significantly higher. Thus, we though that his group of patients may need a follow up to know if the blood pressure value fall to normal percentiles over the following years and whether this finding may be associated with hypertension during adulthood.
