A randomized controlled trial comparing remote blood pressure monitoring with office-based blood pressure monitoring for women at high risk of preeclampsia

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate whether remote blood pressure monitoring could effectively replace traditional office-based monitoring for pregnant women at high risk of preeclampsia, assessing its impact on maternal and fetal outcomes as well as healthcare utilization. The results indicated that remote monitoring did not increase adverse outcomes and significantly reduced the number of antenatal visits and hospital admissions, while also leading to a higher frequency of antihypertensive prescriptions filled. Overall, the findings suggest that remote monitoring is a viable alternative that can enhance patient convenience without compromising safety.
