Results There were significant positive associations
between pre-eclampsia/eclampsia or gestational
hypertension and later hypertension in all measures.
The adjusted relative risks varied from 1.13-3.72 for
gestational hypertension and 1.40-3.98 for
pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. The adjusted incident
rate ratio for death from stroke for the
pre-eclampsia/eclampsia group was 3.59 (95%
confidence interval 1.04 to 12.4).
