Recurrence of hypertensive disorder in second pregnancy

Estudo dos principais fatores de risco maternos nas síndromes hipertensivas da gestação

“…Similar prevalences of HSP were observed in other studies conducted in tertiary care hospitals 9,14,15 . However, lower values were found in other reports 10,11,[16][17][18][19] . Two studies conducted in Brazil 17,18 and another conducted in India 10 also found higher prevalences of PE.…”

“…Other studies also showed that overweight and obesity prior to and/or during pregnancy are associated with the occurrence of GH, PE and CH, and that the risk for PE doubles for every five to seven kg/m 2 increase in the body mass index as measured before pregnancy 19,27 . However, in some studies, obesity was not identified as an independent risk factor but was rather associated with race, showing that non-Hispanic white obese women had a higher risk for PE when compared to black, Asian and white Hispanic obese women 28,29 .…”

“…This is a disturbing finding, since obesity is currently a growing public health problem, thus contributing to an increase in the incidence of HSP. Therefore, public health programs aiming to tackle obesity are necessary for the prevention of HSP 19,26 .…”

RETIRED: Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Management of the Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

“…With prior preeclampsia (of any type), the risk of recurrent preeclampsia in a subsequent pregnancy varies widely (median 15%) , as does ''severe'' recurrent preeclampsia (median 15%) [170,175,176,181,182,184,188,[192][193][194][195]. Recurrence is more likely when prior preeclampsia was: of early onset [184,188,194], ''severe'' [169,187], or complicated by eclampsia [192,193,196] or HELLP syndrome [176,177,182,188]. Higher BMI in prior preeclampsia increases the recurrence risk [185].…”

Risk for Recurrence of Pre-eclampsia in the Subsequent Pregnancy

“…Recurrence of PE was not associated with any specific clinical or laboratory parameter in the index pregnancies. This information is very useful for clinicians for counseling pregnant women with PE, on the risk for PE in their Several studies worldwide, have reported a recurrence rate which ranged from 13% to 55% [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. A prospective cohort study done in Sweden reported a risk of 14.7% for recurrences in women who had PE in their first pregnancies.…”
