Emergency department visits for postpartum hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of women diagnosed with postpartum hypertension in an emergency department (ED) to better inform postpartum care. The investigators compared women with an ED diagnosis of hypertension to women with all other ED diagnoses and concluded that postpartum surveillance may not prevent readmission for hypertension.

Preeclampsia screening: evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The researchers systematically reviewed the benefits and harms of preeclampsia screening and risk assessment for the US Preventive Services Task Force. Their review of 21 studies concluded that evidence to estimate benefits and harms of preeclampsia screening and the test performance of different screening approaches over the course of pregnancy was limited. Externally validated risk prediction models had limited applicability.
