Florida Pregnancy Hypertension and Postpartum Cardiovascular Disease Risk, 2012-2017

755,606 singleton deliveries from Florida (2012–2017) were analyzed to link hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with postpartum cardiovascular disease. The study by Hui Hu, published in 2026, examines six HDP subtypes and their association with seven CVD outcomes within five years after delivery. Hazard ratios are provided for outcomes like stroke, heart failure, and new-onset hypertension.

Use Cases

• Modeling short-term cardiovascular risk based on specific hypertensive disorder subtypes mentioned in the description
• Comparing hazard ratios for outcomes like stroke and heart failure based on HDP onset timing
• Training predictive models for postpartum cardiomyopathy risk using linked electronic health record data

Strengths

• Large cohort of 755,606 singleton deliveries
• Covers a 5-year postpartum follow-up period for cardiovascular outcomes
• Analysis includes six distinct HDP subtypes and seven specific CVD outcomes

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is limited to Florida, which may reflect geographic bias
• The primary file is a DOCX (941.2 KB), suggesting the underlying data tables may not be directly accessible
