Description
Xinxia Chen and co-authors ask whether polycystic ovary syndrome adds risk when a mother also has a blood pressure disorder in pregnancy. The 2023 study covers all live births in Finland from 2004 to 2014, a total of 652,732 births. Mothers were grouped by whether they had the syndrome and by type of hypertension.
The team compared early birth and birth size across the groups. The syndrome added risk of preterm birth for mothers with long-term hypertension. It also added risk in single pregnancies where the mother had pre-eclampsia. For mothers with pregnancy-only hypertension, babies were more often large for their age at birth. The study helps doctors judge which mothers need the closest watch.
