Hypertensive Disorders at Delivery and Postpartum Cardiovascular Morbidity: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Hypertensive diagnoses were associated with significantly increased odds for 6-month postpartum cardiovascular SMM readmission, with individual diagnoses demonstrating distinct odds. Among patients with hypertensive disorders, delivery < 34 weeks was particularly associated with increased odds. Hypertensive disorders are important risk factors for adverse cardio-obstetric outcomes postpartum and represent important factors to identify patient risk and improve the quality of postpartum care.
