Key result
A history of early-onset preeclampsia was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy reference women (15.2% vs 4.3%, P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does a history of early-onset preeclampsia increase the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk in women?
Population
617 women, comprising 243 primiparous women with a history of early-onset preeclampsia at least 6 months…
Comparison
History of early-onset preeclampsia (exposure) vs Healthy nonpregnant women of similar age
Design
Cross-sectional
Follow-up
at least 6 months after delivery

Supports metabolic screening consideration after early-onset preeclampsia; leaves open prospective validation for cardiovascular risk prediction.
Observational (n=617)
Does a history of early-onset preeclampsia increase the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk in women?
Absolute Event Rate: 15.2% vs 4.3%
p-value: p=<.001
Women with a history of early-onset preeclampsia have a significantly higher prevalence of major cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome compared to healthy controls.
Rijn et al. (2013) conducted an observational in History of early-onset preeclampsia (n=617). History of early-onset preeclampsia vs. Healthy nonpregnant women was evaluated on Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (p=<.001). A history of early-onset preeclampsia was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy reference women (15.2% vs 4.3%, P<0.001).
