OBJECTIVES: To assess the recurrence risk of term @entity101 disease of pregnancy and to determine which potential risk factors are predictive of recurrence. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a retrospective cohort study in two secondary and one tertiary care hospitals in the Netherlands. We identified @entity1 with a @entity101 in the index pregnancy and delivery after 37weeks of gestation between January 2000 and December 2002. Data were extracted from medical files and @entity1 were approached for additional information on subsequent pregnancies. Adverse outcome was defined as recurrence of a @entity101 in the next subsequent pregnancy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The absolute risk of recurrence and a prediction model containing demographic and clinical factors predictive of recurrence. RESULTS: We identified 638 @entity1 for potential inclusion, of whom 503 could be contacted. Of these @entity1 , 312 (62%) had a subsequent pregnancy. @entity101 recurred in 120 (38%, 95% CI 33-44) @entity1 , of whom 15 (5%, 95% CI 3-7) delivered preterm. @entity1 undergoing recurrence were more at risk to develop chronic @entity101 after pregnancy (35% versus 16%, OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.5-5.3). Body mass index, non-White European origin, chronic @entity101 , maximum diastolic blood pressure, no use of anticonvulsive medication and interpregnancy interval were predictors for recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 with @entity101 and term delivery have a substantial chance of recurrence, but a small risk of @entity3152 . A number of predictors for recurrence could be identified and @entity1 with a recurrence more often developed chronic @entity101 .
