“…Twin pregnancy (referred to multiple gestations in the current study) is a risk factor for PE with a reported incidence of 2-3 times higher than singleton pregnancy 42 .Likewise, nulliparity, increased maternal BMI and chronic hypertension were risk factors for PE in twin pregnancies, while monochorionicity, ethnicity, and assisted reproductive techniques are not. In common with singleton pregnancies, twin pregnancies complicated by PE are at greater risk of an adverse pregnancy outcome 43 .In contrast with our findings, some studies suggest that IVF is significantly associated with a higher incidence of PE. Also,severe PE was more prevalent in the singleton IVF-PE group than in the singleton SC-PE group [44][45][46] .…”

Objective: To explore the incidence and risk factors of preeclampsia (PE) among high-risk pregnant women in South India. Design: Nested case-control study Setting: Tertiary referral hospital Population or Sample: Pregnant women with risk for PE. Methods: Maternal characteristics were prospectively collected, and risk factors were assessed comparatively between women with risk for developing PE and normotensive pregnant women using risk ratio (RR) (95% CI) plus multivariate analysis. One hundred and seventy-four risk group pregnant women were followed-up once in each trimester till delivery and noted for the development of PE. Main Outcome Measures: Incidence and risk factors of PE among high-risk pregnant women. Results: 67/174 women developed PE, corresponding to an incidence of 38.51% among pregnant women with risk for PE. Women in the age group of 30 and older reported a higher incidence. Maternal factors like absence of a family history of chronic hypertension, history of abortion, non-consanguineous marriage, and AB blood group were significant protective factor and sex of the newborn being female was a significant risk factor for developing PE. Conclusion: This is the first Indian study that explored the incidence and risk factors for PE among high-risk pregnant women. Incidence of PE was higher among South Indian risk population. Female infants significantly contributed to the PE risk.

Background: A disturbed glucose metabolism is quite common during pregnancy. It is due to the diabetogenic potential of pregnancy and responsible for many obstetric complications. The glycated hemoglobin is one of the markers used to depict these disorders. Higher concentrations of this marker would be associated with unfavorable results of pregnancy. Objective: To describe the profile of HbA1c in non-diabetic preeclamptic pregnant women and to establish the association between the values of this marker and the maternal and fetal complications. Materials and Method: This is a case-control study of 142 pregnant women in their second and third trimester. They were followed in the maternity hospitals of University Clinics and the General Reference Hospital in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo between May and October 2019. The sampling of preeclamptic pregnant women was exhaustive.
