Improving Postpartum and Long-Term Health After an Adverse Pregnancy Outcome: Examining Interventions From a Health Equity Perspective.

Gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) that affect 15% of pregnancies in the United States.

In this manuscript, we review the importance of timely postpartum follow-up and transition to primary care after APOs for future disease prevention.
