Effect of Early-Onset Preeclampsia on Offspring's Blood Pressure during the First Month of Life

Objective To explore the effect of early-onset preeclampsia on the blood pressure of offspring during the first month of life. Study design This prospective case-control study included 106 neonates of mothers with early-onset preeclampsia (developing at Results There were no differences in blood pressure values on admission and the first day of life between cases and controls. Conversely, infants exposed to preeclampsia had significantly higher systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean blood pressure (MBP) on the subsequent days up to the fourth postnatal week (P  Conclusions Infants of mothers with early-onset preeclampsia have elevated blood pressure values throughout the neonatal period compared with infants born to normotensive mothers.
