Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of vitamin E supplemented with calcium in the treatment of hypertension during pregnancy on maternal and infant outcomes. Methods: 60 patients with gestational hypertension admitted from January 2020 to December 2022 were recruited and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, each group including 30 patients. The control group was given routine treatment, whereas the observation group was given routine treatment combined with vitamin E-supplemented calcium therapy, and both groups received treatment until delivery. The clinical effects of the observation group and the control group after treatment, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, urine protein, blood lipid levels at different time points (before and after treatment), and maternal and child outcomes during treatment were uniformly compared and analyzed. Results: After treatment, the total clinical effective rate (93.33%) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (70.00%); compared with before treatment, the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, urine protein, TC, and TG levels of the two groups were all lower after treatment, and the observation group was at a lower level; there was no significant difference in the incidence of hemorrhage (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Vitamin E supplemented with calcium has a significant effect on the treatment of hypertension during pregnancy, which can help reduce blood pressure and blood lipid levels, reduce urinary protein content, improve maternal and child outcomes, and improve safety.
