What is 884 Adjuvant vaginal progesterone after cerclage in patients without a prior spontaneous preterm birth about?
We identified 652 women diagnosed with a HDP with persistent PP HTN while inpatient; 215 (33%) black women and 437 (67%) women of other races. In all, 63% of women with HDP with persistent PP HTN were discharged on oral antihypertensive agents. There was no difference by race in the utilization of oral antihypertensives prior to discharge (62.3% of black women vs. 63.6% of other race, p1⁄40.70). Among a subset of our cohort enrolled in a home BP management program (n1⁄4258), an additional 17.0% of women were initiated on oral anti-hypertensive agents after hospital discharge. CONCLUSION: Among women with persistent PP HTN, 63% were discharged on oral anti-hypertensive agents. In our cohort, use of oral antihypertensive medication during the inpatient PP hospitalization did not differ by race. Further investigation of appropriate BP parameters for initiation of oral antihypertensive agents in the PP period is needed.
