Feasibility of Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring to Improve Management of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (RBPM)

SH RBPM: Feasibility of Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring to Improve Management of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

This study represents an innovative approach to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy surveillance by using remote blood pressure monitoring to address the unique challenges of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy management in a predominantly rural state. Transitioning from episodic in-clinic monitoring to continuous, patient-centered monitoring changes how high-risk patients and healthcare providers detect hypertensive episodes and advances the field by establishing clinical effectiveness and feasibility of remote blood pressure monitoring (RBPM), to provide evidence for scaling interventions that improve maternal health.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective study enrolling women who are pregnant or newly postpartum to monitor their blood pressures remotely. Additionally, a retrospective control group will serve as a comparison group that will have clinical data collected from the EMR on patients who had previous hypertensive disorders.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Remote Monitoring Arm

Pregnant or newly postpartum women who are diagnosed with a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and consent to monitor their blood pressures remotely.

Participants will take their blood pressure at least twice daily until cleared by their OB, typically at their 6 week post-partum visit. Every time a participant takes their blood pressure, the cuffs will track the blood pressure and allow the participants to review previous blood pressures and document them for their provider.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring Adherence using the Homedics 700 Series Arm Blood Pressure Monitor or Equivalent for Women with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.
Time Frame: Enrollment to 6 week post partum visit

Study will determine whether RBPM improves adherence to recommended blood pressure monitoring protocols compared to in clinic monitoring. The study will utilize the Homedics 700 Series Arm Blood Pressure Monitor or equivalent. The monitor will be provided to participants who will be asked to monitor and record their blood pressures at home twice daily (or more if they would like).

Enrollment to 6 week post partum visit
Provider and Patient Satisfaction by surveying participants on their experience with remote blood pressure monitoring.
Time Frame: Enrollment to 6 week post partum visit

Both participants and participant's primary OB provider will be surveyed on their satisfaction with RBPM.

Enrollment to 6 week post partum visit

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

The coded RBPM, EMR derived analytic datasets, and survey files will be stored on an access controlled UND servers, which meets NIH requirements for long term preservation and security. The combined and coded data will be shared with the ICPSR. This is a repository through the University of Michigan. The repository will make this data restricted from the public for the first 3 years, and users would need to request permission and a project proposal to access the data.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Data will be made available upon approval and publication of any manuscripts.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Users would need to request permission and a project proposal to access the data.
