The rate for stroke-related hospitalizations increases as soon as 30 days after delivery and is 66% higher overall, researchers found.
Abruptio placenta is a serious but rare complication of pregnancy where a separation of placenta from the lining of the uterus happens before the baby is born and is an important cause of antepartum hemorrhage. Untreated, it poses serious risk to both the mother and the baby.
Pregnant women with even mild hypertension should receive blood pressure-lowering medications to reduce the likelihood of adverse outcomes for the mother and the child, according to a large, open-label, randomized trial.
The findings may reflect challenges accessing care and poorer preconception health.
