Cost-effectiveness of present programs for detection of asymptomatic hypertension in relation to the severity of hypertension and proteinuric hypertension

M Hall et al. Int J Technol Assess Health Care. 1992.

Abstract

Proteinuric hypertension is an important cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. Eclampsia cannot always be prevented. The likelihood of identifying a new case of proteinuric hypertension at any particular visit is very low using traditional antenatal care schedules, and care could be focused on women at higher risk.
