- Values are in mean ± SD and frequency (proportion) where appropriate. Comparison between proportions was done using Fischer's exact test. One-way ANOVA coupled with Dunnett multiple comparisons was used to compare multiple groups. α P-value (comparison between control & PIH); βp-value (comparison between PIH & PE); γp-value (comparison between controls & PE). PIH: Pregnancy-induced hypertension; PE: Pre-eclampsia, SBP: Systolic blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure. Data in boldface indicate statistical significance.
