    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pre-eclampsia onset during labor affects nearly a quarter of cases, particularly in later pregnancy. Management is crucial due to severe hypertension and eclampsia risks, though fetal outcomes are generally good.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Perinatal Research

    Background:

    • Pre-eclampsia is a significant complication of pregnancy.
    • Understanding the timing and risk factors for pre-eclampsia onset is crucial for management.
    • The incidence and characteristics of pre-eclampsia developing during labor require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of pre-eclampsia onset during labor in a large cohort of singleton pregnancies.
    • To compare the occurrence of labor-onset pre-eclampsia between primiparous and parous women.
    • To analyze the gestational age at onset, severity of hypertension, and perinatal outcomes associated with labor-onset pre-eclampsia.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 1,201 singleton pregnancies diagnosed with pre-eclampsia.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collection on onset timing (during labor vs. other), parity, gestational age, blood pressure, proteinuria, and maternal/fetal outcomes.
  • Statistical comparison between primiparous and parous groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Pre-eclampsia onset occurred during labor in 24.1% of cases.
    • No significant difference in labor-onset pre-eclampsia between primiparous (25.9%) and parous (20.7%) women.
    • Onset during labor increased with gestational maturity, rarely occurring before 38 weeks.
    • High incidences of severe hypertension (35.5%), proteinuria (41.7%), and eclampsia (2.1%) were observed.
    • Fetal risk was minimal, but the early third stage of labor posed maternal risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Pre-eclampsia frequently develops during labor, particularly in late gestation.
    • Both primiparous and parous women are similarly affected.
    • Aggressive management is indicated due to the severity of the disease and associated maternal risks, despite minimal fetal risk.
