Abstract
We screened the pattern of maternal lipid profile in 94
womenduring pregnancy then assessed the association between the
lipid profile components and adverse pregnancy outcome among
cohort of Egyptian pregnant women.
This cohort study included 94 non-diabetic and nonhypertensive
women with maternal lipid profile assessed during the
second trimester (16-18 weeks).
Serial antenatal visits were conducted to record the
development of maternal gestational hypertension, preeclampsia,
gestational diabetes mellitus and low birth weight
Multiple logistic regression analysis was done to detect the
association between lipid parameters and incidence of adverse
pregnancy outcome.
We found maternal lipid profile in pregnancy were higher than
normal references.
Also, we showed gestational hypertension (GH) was the most
common complication in the study affecting 13 patients (13.8%)
followed by preeclampsia (PE) in 8 patients (8.5 %), gestational DM
(GDM) in 7 patients (7.4%) and lastly low birth weight in 4 neonates
(4.3%).
Moreover, we speculated positive correlation between second
trimester lipid profile components and GH, PE and GDM
We concluded that measurement of lipid profile during the
second trimester could be a useful predictor of hypertensive disorders
and GDM among Egyptian women.
