Expectant Management of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy and Future Cardiovascular Morbidity.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To test the hypothesis that a longer length of time between diagnosis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and delivery is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity in the years after delivery.

Methods

This is a retrospective cohort study based in the New York State Inpatient Database. The first delivery for all patients from 2005 to 2014 who delivered preterm with an International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification code for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (excluding isolated chronic hypertension) was included. The duration between diagnosis and delivery was divided into 7 days or less or more than 7 days. The primary outcome was admission for a composite of cardiovascular disease, stroke, or death after the index
