Feasibility of Postpartum Blood Pressure Monitoring for Hypertensive Disorders in a Low-Resource Setting
The study demonstrates the feasibility of a postpartum BP-monitoring program in a low-resource setting like Nigeria, with high recruitment, fidelity, and retention. Continued monitoring beyond the immediate postpartum period is essential for improving outcomes. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and scalability of such programs.
