Why the study?
Hypertension definition and management rely on office blood pressure measurement, yet home and ambulatory monitoring seem more accurate, and data comparing these methods in pregnancy are scarce.
Do different blood pressure monitoring methods (HBPM, OBPM, ABPM) differ in their ability to predict preeclampsia in pregnant women with hypertension?
Comparison
HBPM vs OBPM vs ABPM across normotensive, uncomplicated hypertension, and preeclampsia groups
Design
Prospective cohort study
Follow-up
1 year post-delivery

Multiple BP monitoring methods may aid preeclampsia detection in pregnancy; leaves open whether ABPM improves outcomes over HBPM or OBPM.
Do different blood pressure monitoring methods (HBPM, OBPM, ABPM) differ in their ability to predict preeclampsia in pregnant women with hypertension?
Nighttime ambulatory blood pressure monitoring shows the strongest potential for early detection of preeclampsia risk in pregnant women with hypertension.
