    ObjectivesTo investigate the incidence and risk factors for pre-eclampsia in pregnant Chinese women with abnormal glucose metabolism.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was performed on 1499 pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism at Peking University First Hospital from January 1995 to December 2004.ResultsThe overall prevalence of pre-eclampsia in women with abnormal glucose metabolism was 9.4% (141/1499). The prevalence of pre-eclampsia in women diagnosed with diabetes mellitus prior to pregnancy was higher than that of gestational diabetes mellitus and gestational impaired glucose tolerance patients (29.1% vs 8.7% and 7.8%, P<0.01). Pre-pregnancy body mass index was significantly higher in women with pre-eclampsia than in those without. A higher rate of pre-eclampsia was found in women with chronic hypertension and those with poor glucose control. The independent risk factors for pre-eclampsia were chronic hypertension and elevated pre-pregnancy body mass index.ConclusionsThe type of diabetes, chronic hypertension, and elevated pre-pregnancy body mass index are high risk factors for pre-eclampsia in pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism.
