Abstract

Objective

To examine trends in the rates of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and compare the rates of severe obstetric complications for delivery hospitalizations with and without hypertensive disorders.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional study using the 1998-2006 Nationwide Inpatient Sample of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. Logistic regressions and population-attributable fractions were used to examine the effect of hypertensive disorders on severe complications.
