Interventions

  • Early detection and management of postpartum preeclampsia bundle — OTHER
    Remote blood pressure monitoring, education, and dispensing antihypertensive medication (nifedipine ER) for outpatient management of asymptomatic, mild range BP.

Study Details

The goal of this study is to address the significant morbidity associated with preeclampsia diagnosed after delivery. All participants will undergo biomarker evaluation with soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 and placental growth factor (sFlt-1/PlGF) ratio testing before delivery to assess the predictive ability of these biomarkers with new-onset postpartum preeclampsia. High-risk participants will be randomized to a bundle of care strategies aimed at early detection and management of postpartum preeclampsia.

Arms

  • Experimental: High-risk Intervention
    Participants with high-risk sFlt-1/PlGF ratio randomized to early detection and management of postpartum preeclampsia with remote blood pressure monitoring, education, and dispensing antihypertensive medication (nifedipine ER) for outpatient management of asymptomatic, mild range BP.
  • No Intervention: High-Risk Control
    Participants with high-risk sFlt-1/PlGF ratio randomized to standard postpartum care.
  • No Intervention: Low-risk Control
    Participants with low-risk sFlt-1/PlGF ratio will not be randomized, but will remain enrolled to assess the exploratory outcome of biomarker predictive ability.
