Fetal/neonatal short-term complications include
intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), small for
gestational age (SGA) neonate, low birth weight
neonate, preterm birth, intrauterine and perinatal
death.18,19 In one study of 17,933 stillbirths, 9.2%
were by pregnancies complicated by hypertensive
disorders of pregnancy.20 One study from Greece
revealed increased neonatal adverse outcomes in infants
of preeclamptic women as compared to those of normotensive women.21 A retrospective study showed
that hospital-based continuous prenatal care reduced
the risk of pre-term delivery and impaired fetal growth
in pregnancies complicated by PE.
