Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the setting of CHTN are associated with the highest odds of serious consequences on the pregnant person and neonate independent of maternal comorbidities and prematurity. Antihypertensive medication use lowers the odds of some adverse outcomes. Patients should be informed of heightened risks, but optimal management remains unclear.
