Management of Postpartum Preeclampsia and Hypertensive Disorders (MOPP): Postpartum Tight vs Standard Blood Pressure Control.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is unknown whether tightly controlled blood pressure in the postpartum period will improve outcomes.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a lower treatment threshold (≥130/80 mm Hg) for initiating and titrating antihypertensive medication on reducing emergency department visits in postpartum patients with hypertension.

Methods

A prospective cohort of postpartum patients was recruited in a multicenter study between March 2023 and March 2024 and treated to maintain blood pressure <130/80 mm Hg using remote blood pressure monitoring. These patients were compared to a propensity score-matched retrospective cohort from February 2021 to February 2023 who were treated to maintain blood pressures <150/100 mm Hg. Eligible patients were
