The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the maternal characteristics of preeclamptic women and the severity of preeclampsia, mode of delivery and incidence of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). We examined retrospectively the medical records of 58 patients with preeclampsia who gave birth at Hyogo Children's Hospital from January to December 2001. The older is the maternal age, the higher is the incidence of early onset preeclampsia. The incidence of severe preeclampsia in primiparae aged≧35 years is higher than that in multiparae aged ≧ 35 years. Severe preeclamptic patients showed a higher positive rate of family history of hypertension (37.2%) compared with that in mild preeclamptic patients (26.7%). The frequency of >8 kg weight gain among patients with severe preeclampsia was lower compared with that among patients with mild preeclampsia. The birth weight of infants in primiparae with early onset preeclampsia was significantly lighter than that in other preeclamptic patients (P<0.05). Moreover, there was a significant relationship between mode of delivery and the birth weight or the placental weight in primiparae complicated with late onset preeclampsia (≧ 35-week termination) (P<0.05). It could be probable that maternal characteristics of preeclamptic patients were important for the prediction of the severity of preeclampsia, IUGR and mode of delivery.
