Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between adverse pregnancy outcomes (like gestational diabetes and preterm birth) and the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia in women.
- Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of various studies, ensuring to include only relevant data while excluding certain groups (like men and women without pregnancies).
- The findings aim to provide clarity on whether complications during pregnancy may elevate the long-term risk of cognitive decline in women.
Objective: In this study, we piloted the use of continuous 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring in postpartum patients with preeclampsia with severe features.
Study Design: We measured continuous BP for up to 24 hours using finger plethysmography. We also used an oscillometric device to measure brachial BP per usual clinical protocol (intermittent BP) during the same monitoring period.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of oral short-acting (SA) nifedipine with intravenous (IV) labetalol for the treatment of postpartum (PP) severe hypertension.
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women who delivered at a tertiary care facility between January and December 2018, had not previously received antihypertensive medication, and required treatment for PP severe hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 160 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥110 mm Hg. Exposure groups were defined by the receipt of either oral SA nifedipine or IV labetalol.
Background: Preeclampsia is associated with autonomic dysregulation during pregnancy; however, less is known about autonomic function in the first week postpartum after preeclampsia.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from a prospective cohort of women with and without preeclampsia. Continuous blood pressure and heart rate were measured with finger plethysmography within 7 days postpartum.
