Hypertensive Pregnant Women Monitored by Teletransmitted Self-measurements of Blood Pressure

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Hypertension in Pregnancy
Interventions
Device: Self measurement of blood pressure
Registration Number
NCT03648645
Lead Sponsor
Rennes University Hospital
Brief Summary

The occurrence of arterial hypertension (AH) during pregnancy is a major cause of fetal, neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality in western countries. It is estimated that about 10% of pregnancies are complicated by AH (80 000 women / year in France). It is therefore essential to diagnose AH with certainty in order to set-up appropriate care and follow its evolution.

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to show the faisability of self-measurement with teletransmission for long-term follow-up of hypertensive pregnant women (at high risk of preeclampsia) by avoiding repeated, prolonged visits or hospitalizations and to optimize the intervention of health professionals by providing them with reliable data.

A multicenter, controlled study will be conducted in women presenting with mild to moderate hypertension without preeclampsia followed throughout their pregnancy by either self-measurement with teletransmission.
