Synopsis of the 2023 U.S. Department of VA and U.S. DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Pregnancy
The CPG is not intended to define standards of care nor address all care needed in pregnancy; it does provide comprehensive guidance for routine pregnancy care. It aligns with the VA and DOD's goal of providing care that is consistent in quality and utilization of resources in efforts to reduce errors and inappropriate variations in practices. In total, the Work Group identified 71 items needing further study, including areas requiring stronger evidence to support current recommendations and newer topics that will guide future guideline development.
