abstract

objective : this study aims to describe the blood pressure profile of newborns of preeclampsia mothers in vali-e-asr hospital during 2003-2004. materials and methods : in this cross-sectional descriptive analytical study 200 mothers and their newborns were studied. blood pressure of all newborns was checked by oscillometric method on the first day after birth and recorded in a questionnaire along with information pertaining to the mother, obtained by interview or through medical file retrieval. results : the newborns of mothers with high systolic (>140 mmhg) and diastolic (>90 mmhg) blood pressure had mean systolic (65.40 mmhg) and diastolic (42.85 mmhg) blood pressures higher than that in neonates of normotensive mothers( p <0.006). mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure of neonates whose mothers were preeclampsia (68.2/42.11 mmhg or chronically hypertensive (68.59/ 41.50 mmhg-) were significantly higher than neonates of normotensive mothers (p<0.0001 and p<0.002, respectively).newborns of smokers had significantly higher blood pressures too (p<0.02). conclusion : mother's blood pressure can affect neonatal blood pressure. chronic hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and cigarette smoking in mothers can adversely alter neonatal blood pressure. these maternal conditions should be screened and managed as soon as possible.
