Risks of preeclampsia and adverse neonatal outcomes among women with pregestational diabetes mellitus

Diabetic women who become pregnant have a higher risk of pre-eclampsia and other complications of pregnancy such as premature birth and small-for-gestational-age babies. This was the conclusion of a study of 462 diabetic women.

Hypertensive disorders in twin versus singleton gestations

Women who are pregnant with twins have twice the risk of developing hypertension of preeclampsia during pregnancy, according to a study of 3,630 pregnant women. Those who developed hypertension were more likely to have premature birth and small-for-gestational-age babies.

Maternal serum thromboxane B2 concentrations do not predict improved outcomes in high-risk pregnancies in a low-dose aspirin trial

Article Abstract:

Reduction in serum thromboxane B2 levels with aspirin therapy does not appear to reduce the risk of preeclampsia or otherwise improve outcomes in high-risk pregnancies. Aspirin lowers thromboxane B2 levels in the blood, which may be associated with the hypertensive complication, preeclampsia. Researchers treated 1,010 women with either low-dose aspirin or placebo. Thromboxane B2 concentrations were much lower in women who took aspirin, but they had similar rates of pregnancy complications as women given a placebo.
