Abstract

Objectives Pre-eclampsia, that affects 2–3% of pregnancies worldwide and develops after the twenty week of pregnancy, is characterized by increased blood pressure and proteinuria. When the worsening of the clinical frame occurs, the admission of these women, which can lead to a change in quality of life is recommended. To evaluate the quality of life of women with preeclampsia and healthy pregnant women hospitalized and compare them with each other, for the WHOQOL-Brev. Methods This was a case-control study. 58 patients were recruited, 28 with preeclampsia (blood pressure > 140 × 90 mmHg and 24-h proteinuria 300 mg) and 30 healthy. All responded to the quality of life WHOQOL-Brev questionnaire divided into four physical, psychological, social and environmental aspects. Results When comparing the clinical data of pregnant women, using the Mann–Whitney statistical difference was observed in the variables age p Conclusions The study showed that there was no statistical difference between groups in quality of life. The mean values between the two groups are equivalent; this can be explained because the PE pregnant women were hospitalized and receive multidisciplinary care. Disclosures M.S. Machado: None. T.V.
