Analyzing the Association between Hypertensive Conditions and Postpartum Check-up Rates, RI PRAMS 2016-2018

Description

Abstract:
Hypertension is one of the most reported health conditions for pregnant women and complicates 5% - 10% of pregnancies [1] • According to data from the CDC, between 1993 and 2014 the rate of hypertensive disorders nearly doubled in the United States [2]. • Research supports the “importance of increased antenatal surveillance for women with chronic hypertension to enable early identification of evolving complications [3].” • Though increases in the rate of hypertension are seen across all racial groups, the largest increase is seen among black, non-Hispanic women with an increase of 87% [4] . 1.
