Key result
Abstract lacks quantitative data on postpartum hypertension incidence within two years following preeclampsia.
Why the study?
Women with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are at increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, but the rate and timing of hypertension within 2 years postpartum are not well defined.
Systematic Review
Meta-analysis abstract omits quantitative incidence; leaves open precise postpartum hypertension risk quantification after preeclampsia.
(BJOG. 2021;128:495–503. doi: 10.1111/1471-0528.16545. [Epub October 21, 2020]. PMID: 32981216) Women who experience hypertensive disorders during pregnancy (HDP) are at increased risk of long-term and potentially short-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes, especially women with recurrent HDP. Identifying the rate, magnitude, and timing of hypertension following HDP may help determine strategies to mitigate the effects of HDP and improve maternal outcomes. This study aimed to systematically review and analyze literature that reported hypertension within the first 2 years following HDP compared with uncomplicated pregnancy.
