Clinical characteristics of study population.
| Parameters | Normal (n = 35) | Preeclampsia (n = 35) | P value preeclampsia vs. Normal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maternal age (year) | 32.0 ± 4.2 | 32.8 ± 0.7 | P > 0.05 |
| BMI in pregnancy (kg/m2) | 26.9 ± 1.4 | 29.3 ± 4.6 | P > 0.05 |
| Gestational age (week) | 38 ± 0.7 | 34 ± 2.9 | P < 0.05 |
| Systolic blood pressure at delivery (mmHg) | 120 ± 6.0 | 155 ± 11.7 | P < 0.05 |
| Diastolic blood pressure at delivery (mmHg) | 75 ± 6.9 | 103 ± 8.9 | P < 0.05 |
| Proteinuria (g/day) | 0 (0/35) | 100 (35/35) | P < 0.05 |
| Body weight of infant (g) | 3303 ± 460 | 2018 ± 879 | P < 0.05 |
Data are presented as mean ± SD or percentage (number/total). P value <0.05 was considered as significant difference. BMI: Body mass index in pregnancy (kg/m2); proteinuria (quantity of 24 h urine protein excretion) higher or equal to 300 mg/24 h is proteinuria positive and lower than 300 mg/24 h is proteinuria negative.
