Latency of preterm hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and subsequent cardiovascular complications.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To test the hypothesis that increasing latency from diagnosis to delivery in patients with preterm hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is associated with an increased maternal risk of cardiovascular admission after delivery.

Study design

Retrospective cohort from the IBM MarketScan® Commercial Database from 2006 to 2016. Patients age 15-45 years with a preterm delivery complicated by a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, at least 6 months of continuous insurance coverage prior to delivery and at least 365 days of coverage post-delivery were included.

Main outcome measures

Hospital readmission after delivery for a composite of acute cardiovascular events (cardiomyopathy, heart failure, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction) or cerebrovascular events. Cox pro
