Background: Preeclampsia, a condition in pregnancy characterized by new onset high blood pressure and proteinuria, complicates 2%?8% of pregnancies globally. Early detection, careful monitoring, and treatment of high blood pressure are crucial in preventing mortality related to preeclampsia disorders. There is limited data that examines obstetric/gynecologic (OBGYN) provider-type practices concerning management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy to reduce early onset preeclampsia (EOP). We assessed the knowledge and practice patterns of OBGYN management to reduce EOP. Methods: We conducted a semistructured survey with OBGYN residents, maternal-fetal medicine fellows, and attending physicians (OBGYN and family medicine) at a single academic medical center to assess the management of hypertensive disorders to EOP. Results: Thirty-one participants (71% residents/fellows 29% attendings) completed the survey. Seventy-eight percent of attendings indicated they discuss blood pressure and preeclampsia with all patients compared to 50% of residents/fellows (p?=?0.31). Eighty-nine percent of attendings reported they are extremely likely to monitor high-risk patients compared to 36% of residents/fellows (p?=?0.07). Conclusion: Attending physicians were more likely to appropriately manage hypertension in women at risk for pregnancy compared to residents/fellows. Further research is needed on monitoring high-risk patients. |
