We investigated 300 normotensive (K) and 100 hypertensive pregnant, divided in two subgruops: mild (LP, n=67) and severe (TP, n=33) PIH. Women with multiple births, without valid data on the last menstrual period, valid ultrasonographic measurement and chronic maternal disease were excluded. Based on our study the conclusion could be that PIH is most frequently in young primiparas and adult multiparas, illiterate and women with only primary education. The development of PIH is preceded by urine infections and obesities. In the prediction of PIH the measurement of blood pressure is essential, statistical elaboration showed significant differences between hypertensive and normotensive groups even before pathological increase of systolic and diastolic pressure...

Aim: To determine the demographic risk factors and values of blood pressure to predict preeclampsia. Material and Methods: Demographic and clinical features of 300 normotensive pregnant women aged 28 ±5 years and 100 preeclamptic women aged 28 ±6 years, were assessed. Women with multiple pregnancies were excluded from the study. Results: Women with less educational attainment had a higher risk of mild and severe preeclampsia. Weight gain during pregnancy in control and pre eclamptic women were 14 ±3 and 20 ±5 kg, respectively (p < 0.01). Women with severe preeclampsia had high significantly shorter gestations then the other two patient groups (p < 0.01).

Because with rare exceptions there is no effective therapy for these disorders, the only alternative at present is early detection and selective termination. The new FASTER trial, like screening test, combines first and second trimester, including ultrasonographic and serum markers, as well as maternal age. Ultrasound between 10-14 weeks assesses the thickness of the nuchal fold of the developing fetus; this measure is called nuchal translucency (NT), and NT is combined with the PAPP-A and free â-HCG. In the second trimester, ultrasonography is combined with the HCG, á-fetoprotein, unconjugated estriol and inhibin-A levels. The serum markers are performed on maternal serum drawn between 15 and 19 weeks. Finally, an important point to remember is that these new developments augment and enhance the options for screening, but screening tests, no matter how well they perform, are ...

This research has included only single pregnancies and the following parameters: maternal age, parity, previous pregnancy history and interval between pregnancies. The study is based on 400 pregnancies with a mean age of 27.65±5.04 years. The significant difference in the frequency of categories and age groups was tested with a method of multivariate analysis for proportion. The difference was not statistically significant > 0.05, which clearly shows that the groups are a priori similar and comparable. Our study shows that PE is most commonly developed in primiparas ( < 0.05). The difference was at the level < 0.001. Among women with no history of PE, the median interbirth interval was 4.24 years between the previous and actual pregnancy. Among women with mild PE the median interbirth interval was 5.96 and in group with severe PE was 8.08 years. Multiparous women who are pregnant 5, especially 10 years or more after their previous pregnancy are as likely to have preeclampsia as nulliparous women.

Preeclampsia (PIH) complicates from 5 to 10% of pregnancies and it is a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. The study was conducted during a 2 year period based on patients between 15 and 41 years, divided in two groups: group A based on 67 preeclamptic patients, and group B based on 129 normotensive pregnancises. The fetuses from group A were suspected from IUGR (p<0.05). Based on our study it can be concluded that IUGR is the main complication of the fetus in the hypertensive pregnancy. The most common type of restriction in PIH was the asymmetric type of IUGR. In PIH pregnancies, there could be a faster aging of the placenta and oligohydramnion (Tab. 9, Fig. 7, Ref. 20).

We examined 300 normotensive and 100 PE pregnancies divided in two subgroups: mild (n = 67) and severe (n = 33) PE. The patients had a BP check in first and second trimester (SBFP DBP and MAP). We found out significant difference between the groups, but what is more important is that the difference in BP values (especially diastolic and MAP) existed before the pathological increase of the BP above the normal values. This was happening most often after 31 wg (at 92.5%) and less often after 26 wg (at 7.5%) at the pregnancies with mild PE while at the pregnancies with severe PE, 18,2% had increased tension after 21 wg; 24% in the period of 26-30 wg and 57.58% after 31 wg. Based on the results we could conclude that when BP is measured in the first or second trimester of pregnancy the ...

The fetuses from group A were suspected from IUGR (p<0.05). Based on our study it can be concluded that IUGR is the main complication of the fetus in the hypertensive pregnancy. The most common type of restriction in PIH was the asymmetric type of IUGR. In PIH pregnancies, there could be a faster aging of the placenta and oligohydramnion (Tab. 9, Fig. 7, Ref. 20).

We examined 300 normotensive and 100 PE pregnancies divided in two subgroups: mild (n = 67) and severe (n = 33) PE. The patients had a BP check in first and second trimester (SBFP DBP and MAP). We found out significant difference between the groups, but what is more important is that the difference in BP values (especially diastolic and MAP) existed before the pathological increase of the BP above the normal values. This was happening most often after 31 wg (at 92.5%) and less often after 26 wg (at 7.5%) at the pregnancies with mild PE while at the pregnancies with severe PE, 18,2% had increased tension after 21 wg; 24% in the period of 26-30 wg and 57.58% after 31 wg. Based on the results we could conclude that when BP is measured in the first or second trimester of pregnancy the ...

Our aim is to detect the risks groups of pregnant women that later develop Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) and risk factors that precede its appearance. We examined 67 preeclamptic and 129 normotensive pregnancies. In research are included only single pregnancies and the following parameters: maternal age, parity and previous pregnancy history. Average age is 25.73+/-5.77 years. After all, the largest number of primipara with preeclampsia is in category from 20 years (p<0.01). Considering the multipara we noticed that preeclampsia is most commonly developed in age between 31-35 years (p<0.01). Biggest number of pregnancies in normotensive group had previous normal pregnancies (59.15 %), while in hypertensive group only 30.77 % patients had normal pregnancies...
