Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy (HDP): Diagnostics and Therapy. Guideline of the DGGG, OEGGG and SGGG (S2k-Level, AWMF Registry No. 015/018, June 2024)
<b>Aim</b> This S2k guideline of the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG) contains consensus-based recommendations for the care and treatment of women with hypertension in pregnancy. It aims to serve as a guide for all professions involved in the care of pregnant women and to improve interprofessional and interdisciplinary cooperation. A new focus was placed on patients' long-term health beyond the postpartum period. <b>Methods</b> The existing S2k guideline was revised and the relevant literature reviewed. Where new questions arose, they were formulated and developed in PICO format. A targeted systematic literature search was carried out using PubMed. Other international guidelines were also consulted. After summarizing and presenting the available data, recommendations and statements were developed, discussed, and agreed on by the guideline group. <b>Recommendations</b> The recommendations cover prediction, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment from the moment hypertensive disease is detected in pregnancy as well as postpartum, in the puerperium, and during breastfeeding. A major change from the previous version of the guideline is the reduction in blood pressure levels that should be achieved during pregnancy. Suggestions are made on how to proceed with regards to the long-term health of mother and child, which the guideline group believes is currently regulated inadequately in the German healthcare system.
