Why the study?
Inadequate management of elevated blood pressure contributes to maternal deaths, but the role of blood pressure self-monitoring during pregnancy in improving maternal and infant outcomes is unclear.
Does blood pressure self-monitoring with telemonitoring improve blood pressure control in pregnant individuals with chronic or gestational hypertension?
Does blood pressure self-monitoring with telemonitoring improve blood pressure control in pregnant individuals with chronic or gestational hypertension?
Self-monitoring of blood pressure with telemonitoring does not significantly improve clinic-based blood pressure control in pregnant individuals with chronic or gestational hypertension compared to usual care.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Self-monitoring does not improve BP control in pregnancy hypertension; challenges assumptions of benefit and leaves open questions on maternal-infant outcomes.
