Does the ASSHP classification system successfully identify patients who require more intensive management and intervention among pregnant patients with hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 61% vs 17%
The ASSHP classification system successfully stratifies risk in pregnant patients with hypertension, identifying those who require more intensive management and intervention.
Peek et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Hypertension in pregnancy (n=205). Severe pre-eclampsia (ASSHP classification) vs. Mild pre-eclampsia was evaluated on Caesarean section. Patients classified with severe pre-eclampsia had higher rates of caesarean section (61% vs 17%) and perinatal death (4% vs 2%) compared to those with mild pre-eclampsia.
