Does pregnancy complication history improve cardiovascular disease risk prediction in parous women?
While pre-eclampsia is an independent predictor of CVD, incorporating a detailed history of pregnancy complications adds only marginal value to established CVD risk prediction models in parous women.
Pre-eclampsia independently predicted CVD after controlling for established risk factors; however, adding pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, preterm delivery, and SGA made only small improvements to CVD prediction among this representative sample of parous Norwegian women.
