Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are more frequent in primiparous women, but may be more severe in multiparas. We examined trends in pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)-related stillbirth and neonatal mortality and explored whether mortality varied by parity and maternal race. We carried out a population-based study of 57 million singleton live- and stillbirths (24-46 weeks) in the United States between 1990 and 2004. We estimated rates and adjusted odds ratio (OR) of stillbirth and neonatal death in relation to PIH, comparing births in 1990-91 with 2003-04. PIH increased from 3.0% in 1990 to 3.9% in 2004. In both 1990-91 and 2003-04 periods, PIH was associated with an increased risk of stillbirth and neonatal death. We explored this in more detail in 2003-04, and observed that the increased risk of stillbirth was higher in women having their second or higher order births (OR=2.24, 95% confidence interval (CI)=2.11-2.37) compared with women having their first birth (OR=1.52, 95% CI=1.40-1.64). Patterns were similar for neonatal death (OR=1.30, 95% CI=1.18-1.43 in first and OR=1.64, 95% CI=1.51-1.78 in second or higher order births). Among multiparas, the association between PIH and stillbirth was stronger in Blacks (OR=2.93, 95% CI=2.66-3.22) than Whites (OR=1.98, 95% CI=1.83-2.14). A substantial burden of stillbirth and neonatal mortality is associated with PIH, especially among multiparas women, which may be due to more severe disease women, or to a higher burden of underlying disease.
