Choosing blood pressure thresholds to inform pregnancy care in the community: An analysis of cluster trials

CONCLUSIONS: In the community, normal BP values do not provide reassurance about subsequent adverse outcomes. Given the similar performance of BP cut-offs of 135/85 and 140/90 mmHg for hypertension, and 155/105 and 160/110 mmHg for severe hypertension, digital decision support for women in the community should consider using these lower thresholds.PMID:37092252 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17465
