We included newborns from healthy mothers with full-term pregnancies (38 to 42 gestational weeks), who received adequate prenatal care and who had Apgar scores \u22657 at 0 and 5\u2009min. Newborns with chromosomopathies identified during prenatal consultations, those with respiratory distress and those with cardiac or pulmonary disease detected in the first paediatric evaluation were excluded from this study. In the group of pre-eclamptic women, we considered the same inclusion criteria, but the patients also had to meet the diagnostic criteria for pre-eclampsia with severity features, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines. The same exclusion criteria used for the healthy group were applied to the pre-eclampsia-associated newborn.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Interventions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A single blood sample from the umbilical cord artery after delivery (vaginal or caesarean section).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Primary outcome<\/jats:title><jats:p>Reference level of BNP in HN.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the HN group, the median BNP was 12.15\u2009pg\/mL (IQR 7.7\u201316.8\u2009pg\/mL) and in the pre-eclamptic group 20.8\u2009pg\/mL (IQR 5.8\u201346.5\u2009pg\/mL).
