Minhas AS, Ogunwole SM, Vaught AJ, et al. - Utilizing the 2016 to 2018 National Inpatient Sample data, researchers assessed the risk of cardiovascular events at delivery related to gestational hypertension and preeclampsia/eclampsia, vs no pregnancy-induced hypertension, overall and by race/ethnicity. There occurred 11,304,996 deliveries in 2016 to 2018, among those, gestational hypertension happened in 614,995 (5.4%) and preeclampsia in 593,516 (5.2%). An elevated risk of cardiovascular events in relation to preeclampsia/eclampsia was observed in women of all races/ethnicities, post-adjustment for socioeconomic factors and comorbidities. Occurrence of preeclampsia was the most likely in Black women, while the risk for acute cardiovascular complications during delivery hospitalization was the greatest among Asian/Pacific women.
