Objectives: Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) encompass a spectrum of disorders that affect 6-8% of US pregnancies. We aim to determine the impact of self-reported history of HDP as a risk factor for screening positive for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which results from exposure to a traumatic event, and to evaluate whether the risk of PTSD differed by severity of HDP.
Study Design: We conducted an online survey on the Preeclampsia Foundation website that is accessed worldwide by women who have experienced HDP, as well as their friends and family.
