Diagnostic properties of differing BP thresholds for adverse pregnancy outcomes in standard-risk nulliparous women: A secondary analysis of SCOPE cohort data
In this study, we observed that 2017 ACC/AHA BP categories demonstrated a similar pattern of association and diagnostic test properties in nulliparous women, as seen in the general obstetric population. BP thresholds below the currently used "Stage 2 hypertension" were not associated with PTB, low birthweight, postpartum hemorrhage, or neonatal unit admission. This study does not support implementation of lower BP values as abnormal in nulliparous pregnant women.
