Subtypes and onset of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and cardiovascular disease within 5 years after delivery
Abstract
Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are established predictors of long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the short-term postpartum CVD risk by HDP subtype and onset remains unclear. Materials and methods: We linked electronic health records with vital statistics for 755,606 singleton deliveries in Florida (2012-2017) to examine how different subtypes and onset of HDP are associated with CVD within 5 years postpartum. We classified HDP into six subtypes-chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, and superimposed preeclampsia - and defined onset as early (
