Comparison of clinical and perinatal outcomes in early-and late-onset preeclampsia
Archives of gynecology and Obstetrics, 2014•Springer
Purpose To compare the clinical and laboratory findings and maternal–perinatal outcomes
between women with early-onset preeclampsia (EO-PE) and late-onset preeclampsia (LO-
PE). Methods One hundred and fifty-four women with preeclampsia (PE) who delivered in
our clinic were included in the study. Perinatal and obstetric outcomes were evaluated.
Results The incidence of abnormal uterine artery (UtA) velocity waveform was significantly
higher in the EO-PE group (71.4 vs 30.1%)(p< 0.001). The incidences of small-for�…

Purpose
To compare the clinical and laboratory findings and maternal–perinatal outcomes between women with early-onset preeclampsia (EO-PE) and late-onset preeclampsia (LO-PE).
Methods
One hundred and fifty-four women with preeclampsia (PE) who delivered in our clinic were included in the study. Perinatal and obstetric outcomes were evaluated.
Results
The incidence of abnormal uterine artery (UtA) velocity waveform was significantly higher in the EO-PE group (71.4 vs 30.1�%) (p�<�0.001). The incidences of small-for-gestational age, oligohydramnios, Apgar score <7 at 5�min, stillbirth and early neonatal death rates were significantly higher in women with EO-PE compared to LO-PE (p�<�0.01). Maternal complications were only recorded in women with severe PE.
Conclusion
EO-PE, especially with abnormal UtA Doppler findings defines a placentation abnormality with higher perinatal adverse outcomes.
