Methods 173 women with PE with severe features were recruitedand categorized into three groups: dipper, non-dipper and reverse dipper type BP group.. Maternal and perinatal outcomes were compared among groups. Results There were significant differences in gestational ages, premature delivery, retinopathy, HELLP syndrome, mean birth weight, rate of low birth weight infants and fetal growth restriction. Conclusion Aberrant circadian pattern of BP in women with PE with severe features was associated with several adverse maternal/perinatal outcomes.
