A 2025 observational study of 141 pregnant women with hypertensive disorders shows a clear risk gradient, with preeclampsia/eclampsia contributing the most severe maternal and neonatal complications . These patients had markedly higher rates of Caesarean delivery (64.6%), HELLP syndrome, renal failure, pulmonary edema, and placental abruption, and accounted for 62.5% of ICU admissions with prolonged hospital stay. Neonatal outcomes were similarly compromised, with increased preterm birth, low birth weight, reduced APGAR scores, and high NICU admission rates.
