Hypertensive disease of pregnancy and maternal mortality
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The incidence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy is increasing and is associated with maternal mortality worldwide. This review provides the obstetrician with an update of the current issues concerning hypertension and maternal mortality. RECENT FINDINGS: Preeclampsia affects about 3% of pregnancies, and all other hypertensive disorders complicate approximately 5-10% of pregnancies in the United States. In industrialized countries, rates of preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and chronic hypertension have increased as rates of eclampsia have decreased following widespread antenatal care and magnesium sulfate use. Increased maternal mortality is associated with eclampsia, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count syndrome, hepatic or central nervous system hemorrhage, and vascular insult to the cardiopulmonary or renal system. Diagnosis and acute management of severe hypertension is central to reducing maternal mortality. African-American women have a higher risk of mortality from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy compared with Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Caucasian women. SUMMARY: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. The incidence of hypertension in pregnancy continues to increase. Currently, we are unable to determine which patient will develop superimposed preeclampsia or identify subsets of preeclampsia syndrome. Opportunities for research in this area exist to better define treatment aimed at improving maternal outcomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
