Prehypertension during pregnancy and risk of small for gestational age: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

BP within the range of 120-139/80-89 mmHg during pregnancy, as previously defined as prehypertension, particularly in late pregnancy, was associated with a 59% increase in the risk of having an SGA birth.

Maternal and perinatal outcomes according to blood pressure levels for prehypertension: A review and meta-analysis

“…In the first screening, 2,080 articles unrelated to blood pressure and maternal and perinatal outcomes were excluded based on the title and abstract. Seventy-two articles were selected after excluding 2 reviews 8,9) and 1 case-control study. 10) In the second screening, the full text of 72 articles was w, weeks of gestation; CH, chronic hypertension; PE&GH, preeclampsia and gestational hypertension; BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; SGA, small for gestational age; HDP, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy; PE, preeclampsia; GDM, gestational diabetes mellitus; GH, gestational hypertension; ICU, intensive care unit; C / S, cesarean section; PPH, postpartum hemorrhage; NICU, neonatal intensive care unit; IUFD, intrauterine fetal death; FGR, fetal growth restriction; HELLP, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, lowered platelets; ( − ), not described.…”

“…4,5) A number of recent studies have examined the validity of blood pressure ≥ 130/80 mmHg as the reference value for hypertension in pregnant women. [6][7][8][9] Therefore, as an academic project of the Japan Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (JSSHP), the Study Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Hypertension in Pregnant Women set out to review and analyze domestic and foreign articles reporting maternal and perinatal outcomes according to blood pressure levels in pregnant women. A large number of studies have examined the incidence of preeclampsia (PE), gestational hypertension (GH), hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP), preterm birth, and small for gestational age (SGA) birth according to systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels at < 20 weeks of gestation.…”

Prevalence and predictive risk factors of hypertension in patients hospitalized in Kamenge Military hospital and Kamenge University teaching hospital in 2019: A fixed effect modelling study in Burundi

“…In this study, hypertension was considered as outcome variable and was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg obtained after three successive measurements or patients on hypertension’s treatment. Pre-hypertension was defined as BP levels of 120 to 139/80 to 89 mm Hg [ 29 ]. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the weight in kilograms to square of height in meters and was categorized in into; underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal (BMI: 18.5–24.9 kg/m 2 ), overweight (BMI: 25.0–29.9 kg/m 2 ) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ).…”
