Abstract
Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) has been related to impaired fetal growth, possibly by affecting hematopoiesis. This study aimed to analyze the most frequent hematological alterations in preterm infants born to mothers with PIH. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in newborns born to mothers with PIH. We reviewed 130 hemograms of preterm infants: 45 from mothers with PIH, 71 with preeclampsia, and 14 with HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count). Normality, cytosis conditions, or cytopenia values were adjusted for gestational ages. Differences between groups were analyzed with classical and Bayesian statistics (BF01 = null/alternative hypothesis ratio). ©Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México
