title: [Prognostic value of vesperal or nocturnal rises in blood pressure during toxaemia of pregnancy. 58 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: In a study of 58 cases of toxaemia of pregnancy, the authors found foetal suffering to be present in 14 out of 21 women who showed sudden vesperal or nocturnal rises in BP, as against 5 out 37 other women. Such rises in BP seem to be of worse prognostic value than mere hypertension or hyperuricaemia. When they are superimposed on one or the other of these conditions, foetal suffering is almost the rule. Variations in BP values throughout the night and day should be taken into account when planning therapeutic measures, notably induced delivery.
