Women with and without resistant hypertension were compared in terms of major maternal complications and adverse infant outcomes.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Mean age and body mass index were similar between the two groups (p&gt;0.05). The rate of preeclamptic complaints was significantly higher in groups with resistant hypertension (90.1% vs. 67.2%, p&lt;0.05). Proteinuria was more frequent in the resistant hypertension group (78.7% vs. 66.8%, p&lt;0.001). The newborn intensive care unit admission rate was significantly higher in the group with resistant hypertension (65.6% vs. 45.9%, p&lt;0.001). Gestational age at delivery was significantly lower in the group with resistant hypertension compared to the normotensive group (34.6 vs. 32.9 weeks, p&lt;0.001). There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the rate of preterm delivery (78.5% vs. 66.7%, p=0.04). </p><p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong>: Resistant hypertension is associated with a higher rate of preeclamptic symptoms during labor and newborn intensive care unit admission.</p> ER -
