Postpartum care of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) often extends only 6 weeks after delivery in low-income countries. This multicenter observational cohort study was conducted to determine 3-month postpartum outcomes of HDP in Tanzania. Of 309 consecutive women admitted to 3 public hospitals, five (1.7 %) died within 3 months. Of the remaining 304, 292 (94.5 %) returned for 3-month follow-up visit and 41.1 % (95 % CI: 35.6 %-46.9 %) had persistent postpartum hypertension. The strongest independent predictor of hypertension persistence was reduced eGFR at delivery (aOR = 2.1[1.01,4.4]). Postpartum follow-up should routinely be extended to 3 months in all women with HDP to diagnose hypertension and prevent cardiovascular disease.
在低收入国家,妊娠高血压疾病(HDP)的产后护理通常仅在分娩后持续6周。本多中心观察性队列研究旨在确定坦桑尼亚HDP患者产后3个月的结局。在3家公立医院连续收治的309名妇女中,有5名(1.7%)在3个月内死亡。在其余304名妇女中,292名(94.5%)返回进行3个月的随访,41.1%(95%CI:35.6%-46.9%)患有持续性产后高血压。高血压持续存在的最强独立预测因素是分娩时估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)降低(调整后比值比[aOR]=2.1[1.01,4.4])。所有HDP妇女的产后随访应常规延长至3个月,以诊断高血压并预防心血管疾病。
