U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Publishes Final Recommendation Statement on Screening for Preeclampsia
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force today published
a final recommendation statement and evidence summary on screening for
preeclampsia. The Task Force recommends screening pregnant women for
preeclampsia with blood pressure measurements throughout pregnancy. This final recommendation applies to pregnant women without
a current diagnosis of preeclampsia and with no signs or symptoms of
preeclampsia or hypertension. It updates the 1996 final recommendation and is
consistent with the 2016 draft recommendation.
