Objective: Determine the association between severe hypertensive disease of pregnancy (HDP) with moderate-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants (< 31 weeks' gestation).
Study Design: Preterm birth cohort study of 693 mother-infant dyads. Severe HDPwas defined as severe preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome or eclampsia. The outcome was moderate-severe BPD classified at 36 weeks corrected gestational age, based on the NICHD Consensusstatement.
Results: 225 (32%) mothers developed severe HDP and 234 (34%) infants hadmoderate-severe BPD. There was an interaction between severe HDP and gestational age (p=0.03). Infants born at earlier gestational ages to mothers with HDP had increased odds for moderate-severe BPD compared to infants of normotensive mothers delivering at the same gestational age. Infants born at later gestational ages to mothers with severe HDP had decreased odds for the outcome.
Conclusions: Severe HDP has a differential effect on the development of moderate-severe BPD based on gestational age.
