Partial HELLP Syndrome (PHS) in pregnancy is linked to higher rates of cesarean delivery and preterm birth. Reviewing aggressive management strategies for PHS is crucial to reduce these adverse outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Critical Care in Pregnancy

Background:

  • HELLP syndrome is a severe pregnancy complication involving hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets.
  • Partial HELLP Syndrome (PHS) presents with one or two of these characteristic alterations.
  • PHS requires careful evaluation for maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess maternal and perinatal outcomes in women with PHS.
  • To compare outcomes of PHS pregnancies with those of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia without HELLP alterations.
  • To identify specific risks associated with PHS.

Main Methods:

  • Observational, retrospective, and analytical study design.
  • Inclusion of pregnant or postpartum women with new-onset hypertension after mid-pregnancy.

  • Analysis of maternal demographics, hypertension type, PHS diagnosis timing, laboratory findings, and perinatal data.

    • Main Results:

    • PHS was diagnosed in 12.9% of 318 women; none with isolated chronic hypertension developed PHS.
    • Preeclampsia was more common in the PHS group compared to the non-PHS hypertension group.
    • The PHS group exhibited significantly higher rates of cesarean delivery, eclampsia, and preterm delivery.

    Conclusions:

    • Aggressive management of PHS led to immediate pregnancy termination, increasing cesarean and preterm delivery rates.
    • Current management strategies for PHS warrant review to mitigate high rates of cesarean delivery and preterm birth.
    • Optimizing PHS care can improve maternal and neonatal outcomes by reducing iatrogenic prematurity.
