    Author: Henrique AJ, Borrozzino NF, Gabrielloni MC, Barbieri M, Schirmer J.

    Abstract:
    The study aimed to identify patterns in the evolution of risk of perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with chronic hypertension in order to compare the results of the pregnancy outcome. It was held an integrative literature with time span between the years 1990 and 2010, in the databases LILACS, SciELO and MEDLINE. As results, it was observed that pregnant women had chronic hypertensive superimposed preeclampsia (20% to 78%), fetal growth restriction (8.5% to 30.7%), prematurity (32.4% to 86.4%), cesarean section (69 2%), placental abruption (3.75% to 8.4%), fetal death (9.5% to 27.2%), cardiovascular complications, maternal kidney and lung. We conclude that the association of chronic hypertension and pregnancy shows strong risk for maternal and perinatal complications, especially when associated with the severity and etiology of hypertension, showing no trend during the two decades studied on perinatal outcome.
