This research aims to evaluate the long-term gastrointestinal outcomes in children exposed to maternal chronic hypertension during pregnancy.
Analyzed data on maternal chronic hypertension across different childhood ages.
Monitored gastrointestinal outcomes in offspring over time.
Evaluated risk variations by age and time.
Children exposed to maternal chronic hypertension show lower gastrointestinal risk in early childhood.
No evidence of excess risk is found in later childhood ages.
Abstract
The association between maternal chronic hypertension and offspring GI morbidity is time-varying and non-proportional, with lower risk in early childhood and no evidence of excess risk at later ages.
