Maternal outcomes associated with a statewide severe hypertension obstetric quality improvement initiative

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of a statewide quality improvement initiative for severe hypertension on maternal outcomes associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in New York State. Their analysis of delivery hospitalizations from 2007 to 2022 revealed an increase in HDP diagnoses, but a significant reduction in adverse outcomes such as stroke and severe maternal morbidity following the implementation of the hypertension bundle, with benefits persisting for several years.
