Investigation of the Effect of Gestational Hypertension on Neonatal Hemoglobin in Selected Hospitals in Qom, Iran
Gestational hypertension is one of the most important disorders during pregnancy. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of gestational hypertension on neonatal hemoglobin in the selected hospitals in Qom in 2017.
The cohort retrospective study was conducted on 100 women who had referred to selected hospitals in Qom. They were divided into two groups so that women with gestational hypertension were allocated to the case group (n=50) while normotensive women were allocated to the control group (n=50) group. Finally, the hemoglobin levels of neonates in the two groups were compared.
The mean level of hemoglobin in neonates born to mothers with gestational hypertension (17.3 gr/dl) was significantly higher than the control group (14.65 gr/dl), which remained significant after regrouping the mothers based on their demographic and gestational characteristics.
Discussion and
Due to the high prevalence of gestational hypertension and its dangerous side effects in infants, it is necessary to pay attention to screening programs and laboratory tests of pregnant mothers to prevent an unusual increase in hemoglobin levels of infants and reduce pregnancy complications
