Conceptual model of the antecedents, correlates and potential sequelae in offspring of mothers with preeclampsia. (A) Pre-conception/environmental factors are associated hypertensive pregnancy disorders and developmental disorders; (B) Either by shared underlying mechanism or confounding, preeclampsia is often associated with fetal/placental diseases, congenital anomalies detected at birth, and downstream inflammation-related illnesses after birth; (C) Largely depending on the length of gestation (and therefore co-occurrence with fetal growth problems), preeclampsia is associated with heightened risks of multiple developmental disorders and also chronic cardiovascular disease.
