What are the prognostic factors for infant survival in pregnancies complicated by severe hypertension requiring delivery between 26 and 34 weeks?
Gestational age is the primary determinant of infant survival in pregnancies complicated by severe hypertension requiring early delivery, with an overall 80% survival rate at 1 year.
Derham et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Severe hypertension in pregnancy (n=106). Severe hypertension requiring delivery between 26 and 34 weeks was evaluated on Infant survival and wellness at 1 year. In pregnancies complicated by severe hypertension requiring early delivery, 80% of babies survived and were well at 1 year, with gestational age being the primary positive prognostic factor.
