The presence of SDB during pregnancy did not worsen the disease course of GH or PE, and was not associated with high blood pressure or anti-angiogenic markers of hypertensive disease amongst healthy pregnant women. Given the numerous reports of the relationship between SDB and diagnosis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, it appears more work is required to distinguish causal, versus confounding, pathways.
