Overview

Randomized trial evaluates patient-centered postpartum planning, showing low visit attendance among diverse participants.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the effectiveness of a patient-centered intervention in improving postpartum visit attendance among individuals with cardiometabolic conditions.
  • Single-center, parallel group randomized control trial enrolling 320 pregnant individuals with cardiometabolic risk factors.
  • Participants randomized to receive either standard obstetric care or standard care with a postpartum care plan intervention.
  • Utilized generalized linear models to estimate risk ratios for attendance at a comprehensive postpartum visit between 4 and 12 weeks postpartum.
  • 52.8% of intervention participants attended postpartum visits compared to 55.3% in control (p=0.66).
  • For primiparous participants, attendance was 61.5% (intervention) vs. 50.0% (control); RR 1.23 (95% CI 0.82–1.85).
  • Among multiparous participants, attendance was significantly higher with ≥3 prenatal visits (72.4%) vs. one or none (29.6%), p=0.001.
