Late preterm neonatal morbidity in hypertensive versus normotensive women.

CONCLUSION: In both low- and high-risk women, mild PE/GH at ≥34 weeks is not associated with an increased risk of neonatal morbidity compared with normotensive women. Increased risk of composite neonatal morbidity related to severe PE/GH is confined to the subgroup of infants with non-respiratory morbidity, and disappears when including only late preterm infants.
