OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the placental pathology in women with preeclampsia occurring at varying gestational ages.STUDY DESIGN: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study of placentas from prespecified complicated pregnancies routinely submitted for standardized examination. For this study, a database of placental diagnoses from liveborn singleton gestations without major malformations was linked to a computerized obstetric database. The rates of standardized placental findings including vascular (atherosis, infarction) and nonvascular (hyperplasia) changes were evaluated according to gestational age at diagnosis of preeclampsia.RESULTS: Between Jan. 1, 2001, and Sept. 30, 2007, a total of 7122 women with pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia were delivered at our hospital. Of these, 1210 (17%) had placental examinations. Within this cohort, 209, 355, and 646 women were diagnosed with preeclampsia at gestations of 24(0/67) to 33(6/7), 34(0/7) to 36(6/7), and 37(0/7) weeks or longer, respectively. Placental findings revealed hypoplasia was significantly associated with preeclampsia early in the third trimester, and histological evidence of placental vascular lesions was significantly increased at gestations of 24(0/67) to 33(6/7) weeks (53%) compared with 34% and 26% at 34(0/7) to 36(6/7) and 37 weeks or longer, respectively (P
