Method: it is an integrative review with collection of publications indexed in LILACS¸ PUBMED, SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCE, during January 2017. The descriptors used were: pregnancy-induced hypertension, perinatal care and neonatology. Results: the most frequent perinatal outcomes were: perinatal mortality, prematurity, low APGAR in the 1st and 5th minute of life, newborns small for gestational age, admission to the intensive care unit, intrauterine growth restriction and cesarean delivery. Among the pathologies investigated, pre-eclampsia stood out (80.6%) and 3% of the articles addressed severe pre-eclampsia.
