To better inform efforts to improve and extend postpartum care, we sought to estimate the incidence of de novo hypertension up to 6 months postpartum in patients without evidence of hypertension during pregnancy or immediately postpartum. This retrospective cohort study included all patients delivering within an academic health care system. All blood pressure (BP) measurements from fertilization to 6 months postpartum were obtained from the electronic medical record and used to identify patients who remained normotensive throughout pregnancy and in the first 6 weeks postpartum. By 6 months postpartum, nearly one-fifth of this large, previously normotensive cohort had developed BP abnormalities per American College of Cardiology-American Heart Association criteria. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing the transition from obstetrics to primary care in the postpartum period.

正常妊娠后晚发性产后高血压。


为了更好地为改善和扩展产后护理的工作提供信息，我们试图估计妊娠期间或产后立即没有高血压证据的患者产后 6 个月内新发高血压的发生率。这项回顾性队列研究包括在学术医疗保健系统内分娩的所有患者。从受精到产后 6 个月的所有血压 （BP） 测量值均从电子病历中获得，用于识别在整个怀孕期间和产后前 6 周内保持正常血压的患者。到产后 6 个月，根据美国心脏病学会-美国心脏协会的标准，这个先前血压正常的大型队列中有近五分之一出现血压异常。这些发现强调了优化产后从产科到初级保健的过渡的重要性。
