Objective

To evaluate whether hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) among low-risk nulliparous women expectantly managed at or after 39 weeks of gestation are associated with adverse outcomes.

Design

Secondary analysis of a randomised trial.

Setting

Multicentre, USA.

Population

Individuals in the expectantly managed group who delivered on or after 39 weeks.

Methods

Main outcome measures

Composite adverse maternal outcome including placental abruption, pulmonary oedema, postpartum haemorrhage, postpartum infection, venous thromboembolism or intensive care unit admission. Secondary outcomes inclu
