Clinical features of preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders in pregnancies after different frozen embryo transfer regimens.

To compare whether the clinical features of preeclampsia (PE) or gestational hypertension (GH) were different in pregnancies after a frozen embryo transfer (FET), depending on the FET regimen used. A retrospective study including 58 pregnancies with PE and 64 pregnancies with GH, all with singleton live births. Pregnancies were stratified according to the presence or absence of a corpus luteum (CL). Clinical characteristics of PE and GH, maternal background factors, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), key perinatal outcomes. Among PE patients, no difference was found in the clinical characteristics and in the maternal background factors, when comparing women with a CL to women without a CL. PE patients in the group without a CL had a hemorrhage of > 500 mL or > 1000 mL significantly more often than patients with a CL. Multivariable analyses confirmed this risk. Perinatal outcomes were similar. Among GH patients, there was no difference in the clinical features and maternal background factors, when comparing CL cycles to cycles without a CL. The amount of PPH was higher among the patients without a CL, but the frequency of a > 500 mL or > 1000 mL hemorrhage was similar between groups. No risk increase was seen in multivariable analyses. Among FET patients with PE, the risk of PPH wasincreased in pregnancies after cycles without a CL, compared to cycles with a CL. The presence or absence of a CL did noteffectthe severity of PE and GH, the duration of pregnancy or blood pressure levels.
