Increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (preeclampsia/eclampsia, placental abruption, preterm delivery, growth restriction, and maternal and perinatal mortality) is noted in pregnancies complicated by chronic hypertension. The objective of this study was to assess whether planned early delivery may prevent some of these adverse outcomes. To achieve this objective, maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnancy in women with chronic hypertension, including gestational-age–specific outcomes were studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
