Blood pressure management
improvementIn pregnant patients with mild chronic hypertension, mean blood pressure <130/80 mmHg was associated with a 55% lower risk of the primary composite outcome compared to mean BP 130-139/80-89 mmHg, with
Effect: improvement; aRR 0.45; CI: 95% CI 0.38-0.54
Mean blood pressure <130/80 mmHg was not associated with an increased risk of small-for-gestational-age infants at either the <10th or <5th percentile threshold.
Effect: null; aRR 0.77; CI: 95% CI 0.58-1.02
Blood pressure management
improvementMean blood pressure <130/80 mmHg was associated with significantly lower rates of any preeclampsia (13.9% vs 32.7%) and severe hypertension (11.2% vs 29.9%) compared to BP 130-139/80-89 mmHg.
Effect: improvement; aRR 0.42; CI: 95% CI 0.35-0.51
Blood pressure management
improvementMean blood pressure <130/80 mmHg was associated with improved neonatal outcomes including lower rates of NICU admission, low birth weight, respiratory distress syndrome, and need for respiratory suppo
Effect: improvement; aRR 0.56; CI: 95% CI 0.44-0.70
