Oral Antihypertensive Regimens (Nifedipine Retard, Labetalol, and Methyldopa) for Management of Severe Hypertension in Pregnancy: An Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Trial

(Abstracted from Lancet 2019;394:1011–1121) Hypertension complicates 1 in 10 pregnancies and has been associated with a number of maternal, fetal, and neonatal adverse events. In cases of severe hypertension (defined by a systolic blood pressure [BP] ≥ 160 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥ 110 mg), urgent antihypertensive treatment is warranted.
