complication was most frequent among women with HELLP/
eclampsia (Table 1). Compared to women without HDP, after
adjusting for a priori risk factors and also preterm delivery, blood
transfusion, and chorioamnionitis, women with pre-e or HELLP/E
but not GHTN had higher odds of wound complication (Figure 1).
CONCLUSION: Compared to women without HDP, women with pre-
eclampsia or HELLP/eclampsia are at increased risk of post-cesarean
wound complication. This data may help inform preventive inter-
ventional studies aimed at reducing wound complication risk in this
high-risk group.
