Popis: Objective Prior data suggest that there are racial and ethnic disparities in postpartum readmission among individuals, especially among those with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Existing reports commonly lack granular information on social determinants of health. The objective of this study was to investigate factors associated with postpartum readmission for individuals and address whether such risk factors differed by whether an individual had an antecedent diagnosis of a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). Study Design This is a secondary analysis of a large, multicenter prospective cohort study of 10,038 nulliparous participants. The primary outcome of this analysis was postpartum readmission. A priori, participants were analyzed separately based on whether they had HDP. Participant characteristics previously associated with a greater risk of perinatal morbidity or readmission (including social determinants of health, preexisting and chronic comorbidities, and intrapartum characteristics) were compared with bivariable analyses and retained in multivariable models if p Results Of 9,457 participants eligible for inclusion, 1.7% (n = 165) were readmitted following initial hospital discharge. A higher proportion of individuals with HDP were readmitted compared with individuals without HDP (3.4 vs 1.3%, p Conclusion In this diverse cohort of nulliparous pregnant individuals, there was a higher frequency of postpartum readmission among participants with HDP. Preexisting comorbidity and intrapartum complications were associated with postpartum readmission among this population engaged in a longitudinal study. Key Points
