Key result
Adding diuretics to antihypertensives, self-monitoring, or lifestyle changes improves BP control at 8 months postpartum.
Why the study?
To assess the effectiveness and safety of management strategies for postpartum hypertension.
Do pharmacological, surgical, or models of care interventions reduce maternal blood pressure in participants with postpartum hypertension?
Meta-Analysis
Do pharmacological, surgical, or models of care interventions reduce maternal blood pressure in participants with postpartum hypertension?
Diuretics as adjuncts, specific antihypertensives like enalapril or amlodipine, and blood pressure self-management or lifestyle changes are effective strategies for managing postpartum hypertension.
Supports adding diuretics to antihypertensives and implementing self-monitoring postpartum; extends RCT evidence to inform guidelines and trials.

Tol et al. (2025) conducted a meta-analysis in Postpartum hypertension. Management strategies (pharmacological, surgical, or models of care) vs. Placebo, usual care, or other antihypertensives was evaluated on Blood pressure control. Diuretics improved blood pressure control when administered alongside antihypertensives, and blood pressure self-monitoring or lifestyle changes lowered blood pressure at 8 months postpartum.
