Perfil epidemiológico e resultados perinatais em pacientes com síndromes hipertensivas na gravidez

Abstract

To obtain epidemiological profile and perinatal outcome of patients diagnosed with hypertension in pregnancy. To analyze the severe hypertension, present in the pathologies pre-eclampsia, preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension, HELLP syndrome and eclampsia as a risk factor for maternal and neonatal complications for hypertensive disorders and less severe mild preeclampsia, chronic hypertension and gestational hypertension. Subjects and methods: cross-sectional study was carried out in Maternidade Escola Assis Chateaubriand between June 2007 and August 2008 with 201 patients with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Patients with more severe hypertensive disorders and their perinatal outcomes were grouped using the chi-square test and followed up a comparative analysis of their socio-demographic characteristics and obstetric and perinatal outcomes of women with less severe disorders. To measure the magnitude of risk was calculated odds ratio. Results: there were 81.6% of patients in the group of more severe hypertension, and 52.7% of pre-eclampsia. The nulliparous patients accounted for 47%, 41% overweight and obesity 38%. It was found 44.2% of preterm births, 37% of newborns weighing less than 2500g and the rate of 65 deaths per thousand live births. The comparative analysis of characteristics of women and perinatal outcome in severe hypertensive disorders in relation to less serious showed no significant association by odds ratio. Conclusions: The profile of women with severe hypertensive disorders was similar to patients with less severe disorders. Of note is the high incidence of severe preeclampsia, overweight and obesity and high rates of prematurity and neonatal deaths. No difference was observed between the impairment groups as neonatal syndromes.
