Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with ongoing postpartum hypertension (HTN) and increased morbidity. Extravascular water and sodium mobilization is implicated in postpartum blood pressure (BP) elevation, however trials of postpartum diuretics in HDP have had mixed results. Our meta-analysis aimed to analyze the impact of postpartum diuretics on postpartum hypertension following HDP.

- The study compared sleep quality one year after childbirth between individuals with persistent postpartum hypertension (HTN) and those with normal blood pressure after experiencing a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP).
- Researchers analyzed data from two studies, finding that 45% of participants had persistent postpartum HTN, which was associated with factors like being older, having a higher BMI, and being of Black race.
- On average, participants reported poor sleep quality, with those having persistent postpartum HTN scoring worse on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, indicating a significant correlation between hypertension and sleep issues.
Background: In nonpregnant adults, poor sleep is associated with higher blood pressure. Poor sleep is common in the postpartum period and is often attributed to infant caretaking needs. However, its effects on cardiovascular health in individuals with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy are unknown.

Background: Decision-making capacity can be affected by psychiatric illness. Women who have psychiatric illness who make decisions about their reproductive health may require evaluation of their decision-making capacity.
Objective: This article aims to characterize existing literature about capacity evaluations in women with psychiatric illness making reproductive decisions.
Objective: To develop a decision model to evaluate the risks, benefits, and costs of different approaches to aspirin prophylaxis for the approximately 4 million pregnant women in the United States annually.
Methods: We created a decision model to evaluate four approaches to aspirin prophylaxis in the United States: no prophylaxis, prophylaxis per American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (the College) recommendations, prophylaxis per U.S.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare 4 national guidelines for the prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
Study Design: We performed a descriptive analysis of guidelines from the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists practice bulletin, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the Royal College of Obstetrician and Gynaecologists (RCOG), and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada on PPH to determine differences, if any, with regard to definitions, risk factors, prevention, treatment, and resuscitation.
Results: PPH was defined differently in all 4 guidelines.
Objective: This study tested the hypothesis that preterm infants who had a blood gas derangement on at least 2 of the first 3 postnatal days are at increased risk for more severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Method: 1,042 infants born before 28 weeks' gestational age (GA) were included. An infant was considered to be exposed if his/her blood gas measure was in the highest or lowest quartile for GA on at least 2 of the first 3 postnatal days.
