Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationship between vitamin A and adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with mild preeclampsia. Methods A total of 797 cases of pregnant women delivered in Dalian maternal and child health care hospital from January 2017 to September 2018 were selected, in which 597 cases were preeclampsia pregnancies (preeclampsia group) and 200 cases were normal pregnancies (healthy control group). The levels of vitamin A during pregnancy in the two groups were retrospectively analyzed and compared, and the pregnancy complications, pregnancy outcomes, and neonatal status in the preeclampsia group with adequate and inadequate vitamin A were furtherly compared. Results The levels of vitamin A during pregnancy in the preeclampsia group were lower than those in the healthy control group (P?0.05). For pregnant women in the preeclampsia group, the incidences of gestational complications (including premature rupture of membranes, fetal growth restriction, placental abruption, threatened premature delivery and postpartum hemorrhage) and neonatal perinatal conditions (including low birth weight infants, fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia) were higher in the vitamin A deficiency group during pregnancy than in the vitamin A sufficient group (P?0.05). Conclusion The levels of vitamin A in preeclampsia pregnant women are lower than in normal pregnant women, indicating that the vitamin A level during pregnancy is a factor affecting pregnancy outcome of pregnant women with preeclampsia.
