Women who have experienced severe preeclampsia, especially with adverse neonatal outcomes, are at risk for poor mental health-related quality of life and may require postpartum psychological care.
Obstetric caregivers should be aware of poor health-related quality of life, particularly mental health quality of life in women who have experienced severe preeclampsia (especially those confronted with perinatal death or their child's admission to a neonatal intensive care unit), and should consider referral for postpartum psychological care.
Hoedjes et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
