Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE:

Women with a previous history of preeclampsia (PE)/HELLP have a twofold higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a fourfold increased risk to develop hypertension at a relative young age. In the latest 2016 ESC guidelines 'CVD prevention', previous PE has been acknowledged as a serious CVD risk factor in women. In clinical practice, however, these women are still underappreciated for their CVD risk. It has not been established yet how adequate lifelong prevention in these potentially high risk women can optimally be achieved from their childbearing years onwards.

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate feasibility, usability, acceptance and potential obstacles of blood pressure (BP) home monitoring in high-risk women, aged 40-60 years, after a previous PE in pregnancy. In addition to evaluate the effectiveness of BP home monitoring on the occurrence of hypertension, the efficacy of BP treatment, quality of life (QOL), health-related symptoms, work ability and life-style behaviour.

STUDY DESIGN:

Randomized, open label feasibility study to compare eHealth guided self management of BP monitoring and lifestyle advice with 'usual care'.

STUDY POPULATION:

Approximately 200 women, aged ≥ 40 and ≤ 60 years, with a previous PE in pregnancy will be invited to participate (both early and late PE). Patients will be recruited from the departments of obstetrics/gynaecology in 6 centres in the Euregio Rhein-Waal and from the department of cardiology Radboudumc.

INTERVENTION:

eHealth guided measurements of BP at regular intervals and recurrent lifestyle advice (intervention-group) will be compared with "usual care".

PRIMARY OUTCOME:

Feasibility, usability, acceptance and potential obstacles of BP home monitoring in high-risk women after a previous PE in pregnancy at 1 year of follow-up.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM)

Home monitoring of blood pressure will be performed. Blood pressure measurements will be entered automatically through a smartphone application into a patient-controlled medical record ('Patients Know Best'). The data will be available to the study coordinator, who will provide patients within 1 week with feedback on the measurements. If necessary lifestyle advice will be given, in case of hypertension patients will be referred to their GP.

Once monthly a questionnaire on well-being (SF-12) and symptoms will be completed. After 6 months and 1 year patients will also receive a questionnaire on feasibility and usability of the blood pressure device.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Home blood pressure monitoring using the Withings Wireless BP monitor. Patients will be asked to measure their blood pressure twice daily for 7 consecutive days. This will be repeated for every month for 1 year.

Control group

Patients in the control group will be asked to register their blood pressure if measured during a doctor's visit, and to note medication use if applicable. They will also be asked to complete a short questionnaire on well-being (SF-12) once per month, which will be evaluated at the end of the study. No interim contact with the study coordinator is scheduled.
