Abstract
In normotensive women with Type 1 diabetes and microalbuminuria we previously found preterm delivery (< 34 weeks) in 23% of the pregnancies. Antihypertensive treatment was initiated in late pregnancy when preeclampsia was diagnosed and diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg. From April 2000 our routine was changed and early antihypertensive treatment with methyldopa was initiated if antihypertensive treatment was given prior to pregnancy, if urinary albumin excretion (UAE) was > 2 g/24 h, or blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg. The present study describes the impact of this more aggressive antiypertensive treatment in the prevalence of preterm delivery. The old cohort (1995-1999) consisted of 26 and the new cohort (2000-2003) of 20 pregnant women with Type 1 diabetes and microalbuminuria. All were referred before gestational week 17. The cohorts were comparable with regard to age, diabetes duration, prepregnancy body mass index, HbA1c, blood pressure 121 (13)/71 (8) vs. 121 (14)/73 (8) mmHg [mean (sd)] and early UAE 69 (16-278) vs. 74 (30-287) mg/24 h (geometric mean and range). Antihypertensive treatment was initiated in the old cohort at 29 (20-33) weeks, n = 9, and in the new at 13 (0-34) weeks, n = 10. The prevalence of preterm delive...Continue Reading
