Abstrakt: Purpose: Day/night ratio from diurnal ambulatory blood pressure (AMBP) in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and in non-diabetic women was evaluated for its association with preeclampsia, retinopathy, HbA1c, and birth weight.
Methods: One hundred and sixty-one women were recruited for AMBP performed with a Spacelab 90207 monitor. The pregnant women were 50 non-diabetic women and 111 T1DM women with normoalbuminuria and no hypertension. ANOVA, regression, and ROC curves analysis were applied.
Results: Women with simplex retinopathy had higher night/day ratio and lower birth weight than those without retinopathy. Women who developed preeclampsia had night/day ratio similar to those with simplex retinopathy. In first trimester they had higher blood pressure than those who did not develop preeclampsia.
Conclusions: Simplex retinopathy and preeclampsia are associated with a reduced night/day ratio even with normal blood pressure but night/day ratio provides no better prediction of preeclampsia than the absolute values.
