Characteristics and fetal outcomes of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders in China: a 9-year national hospital-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a growing concern and a challenge for maternity care providers as the prevalence of hypertension continues to increase. However, optimal management of HDP is unclear.

Results

For the period, a total of 393,353 pregnant women wi
