A Scoping Review of Prenatal Care Outpatient Monitoring for Patients with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

Objective: To systematically analyze relevant studies on prenatal care outpatient monitoring for patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), identify the specific monitoring content, implementation methods, and application effects, and provide references for healthcare professionals in carrying out related monitoring work.Methods: Following the methodology of scoping reviews, computer searches were conducted in domestic and international databases including CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP, CBM, CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, with the search timeframe from database inception to October 2025. The included literature was categorized and analyzed.Results: A total of 12 articles were included, covering various prenatal care outpatient monitoring models. Monitoring content included blood pressure monitoring, weight management, disease knowledge assessment, and psychological status monitoring. Implementation methods comprised disease-specific management clinics, shared care clinics, and continuity of care in midwifery-led clinics. Monitoring showed varying degrees of positive effects on blood pressure control, disease progression, and pregnancy outcomes.Conclusion: Current prenatal care outpatient monitoring for HDP patients is characterized by diversity, personalization, and a focus on multidimensional assessment. However, issues such as lack of standardized monitoring criteria, non-standardized health education formats and content, and limited generalizability of certain models persist. Future research should establish unified monitoring protocols, develop scientifically standardized health education programs, and optimize practical strategies based on individual patient circumstances to further enhance intervention effectiveness.
