Effectiveness of a postpartum vascular risk reduction clinic on behavioral change and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in women who had preeclampsia: a case-control study.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of our vascular risk reduction clinic for women who had preeclampsia, in improving patients' cardiovascular outcomes, self-reported healthy behaviors, and knowledge about their long-term cardiovascular health.

Study Design: Retrospective case-control study where 470 surveys were mailed: half were patients seen in Postpartum Preeclampsia Clinic 2010-2019, and controls were patients who did not attend a scheduled clinic appointment or were seen in Obstetric Medicine clinic postpartum for preeclampsia. Primary outcome was a lack of postpartum weight gain.
