Question: Does self-monitoring of blood pressure by pregnant individuals at higher risk of preeclampsia lead to earlier detection of pregnancy hypertension compared to usual antenatal care? Findings: In this randomized clinical trial that included 2441 pregnant individuals at increased risk for pre-eclampsia, use of self-monitoring of BP with telemonitoring compared with usual care resulted in a mean time to clinic-based detection of hypertension of 104 vs 106 days, a difference that was not statistically significant.Meaning: Among pregnant individuals at higher risk of pre-eclampsia, blood pressure selfmonitoring with telemonitoring did not lead to earlier clinic-based detection of hypertension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
