____________________________________________
Evidence quality:
- low
- moderate

Classification

Classification
PIH
“PIH” should not be used
- ACOG recommended against use in 2000
- recommendation made 14 years ago
Classification
Avoid use of term mild preeclampsia
replace with preeclampsia without severe features
Severe preeclampsia = preeclampsia with severe features
Diagnosis: Hypertension
Hypertension (either):
SBP > 140
DBP > 90
Severe hypertension (either):
SBP > 160
DBP > 110
BP > 4 hours apart
Diagnosis: Hypertension
“it is recommended that a diagnosis of
hypertension require at least 2 determinations at
least 4 hours apart, although on occasion,
especially when faced with severe hypertension,
the diagnosis can be confirmed within a short
interval (even minutes) to facilitate timely
antihypertensive therapy.”
Blood Pressure: Technique
Assessing BP (ideal):
- seated, legs uncrossed, relaxed, quiet
- back and arm supported
- middle of cuff at level of right atrium
- wait 5 minutes before first reading
Improper assessment:
- left lateral using upper arm
- gives falsely low values
Diagnosis: Proteinuria
Definition:

Prevention
Consider for women with high-baseline risk (~20%)
- chronic hypertension
- previous preterm preeclampsia
- diabetes
Needed to treat to prevent 1 case preeclampsia: 50
Prevention
Not recommended:
-
vitamin C
vitamin E
salt restriction
bed rest
physical activity restriction
Future Implications
Preeclampsia in pregnancy
- increased risk cardiovascular disease
- overall:
2x increase risk
- < 34 week delivery: 8-9x increase risk
Future Implications
What can be done to lower cardiovascular risk?
Preterm birth < 37 weeks from preeclampsia
consider yearly assessment of:
- BP
- lipids
- fasting glucose
- BMI

Recommendation:

Summary
- preeclampsia vs. gestational HTN:
- presence of proteinuria
- preeclampsia:
- no longer use term “mild” preeclampsia
- preeclampsia without severe features
PIH
Summary
- preeclampsia with severe features
- proteinuria not used to define severe
- proteinuria not used to determine delivery timing
- fetal growth restriction removed
- oliguria removed
- elevated creatinine defined
Summary
- CHTN with superimposed preeclampsia
- Management similar to preeclampsia
- depends on presence of severe features
Summary
- magnesium sulfate recommended for:
- preeclampsia with severe features
- eclampsia
- delivery:
- CHTN:
- GHTN:
- Preeclampsia, w/o severe
- Preeclampsia, w/ severe
> 38w0d
> 37w0d
> 37w0d
varies; 34w0d latest
Summary
Postpartum (GHTN and preeclampsia):
- check BP for 72 hours
- follow-up at 7-10 days postpartum
Prevention:
- high-risk women
- daily low dose aspirin starting late 1st trimester
