title: [Prediction of complications in children of hypertensive mothers].
abstract: The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a frequent cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. 259 newborns of hypertensive women were study to establish the relationship between some maternal findings and the subsequent neonatal complications. The severity, early onset of hypertension, proteinuria and the gestation of 32 week or less, are related with special risk of small-for-date, anoxia, seizures and neutropenia. Preeclampsia was related with foetus more compromised. Also hyperuricemia, thrombocytopenia and cesarean section were light predictors of neonatal trouble. These findings can orientate the neonatologist to select the newborns prone to complications, watching them closely to start the treatment, if necessary, as soon as possible.
