Association of Maternal Preeclampsia with Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Abstract: Preeclampsia is a common cause of preterm birth and neonatal morbidity, but its relationship with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) remains controversial. We conducted a retrospective cohort study with data from very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants born in 1997–2014 from the database of the Premature Baby Foundation of Taiwan to evaluate the relationship between maternal preeclampsia and neonatal RDS. In total, 13,490 VLBW infants were enrolled, including 2200 (16.3%) infants born to preeclamptic mo… Show more

“…In our study, we observed PIH in 16% of mothers of VLBH neonates which was lower as compared to the previous results [33]. RDS occurred in 34% of VLBW neonates in the current study which was low as compared to a recent study done by Wen et al [34] in 2019 who observed the incidence of 86% and that of severe RDS as 41.2%. In the current study, apnea observed was comparatively less with 11% of the VLBW neonates affected, whereas, in a study done by Zhao et al [35], it was around 54%.…”

“…Decreased utero-placental perfusion also significantly increases the risk of intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth and other neonatal comorbidities (like respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage) and other systemic disturbances [21,22]. In addition, these children are more susceptible to neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems as well as chronic noncommunicable disease later in life [12,23,24].…”

“…In this study, neonates of hypertensive mothers had a higher risk of the need for MV within 72 h after extubation than those of normotensive mothers. It has been shown that gestational hypertension can promote maternal production of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), an anti-angiogenic factor that can block vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling [ 26 , 27 ]. Since VEGF signaling is essential for the growth of pulmonary blood vessels and the production of surfactants, sFlt-1 may lead to increased incidence and severity of RDS in preterm neonates with hypertensive mothers.…”
