Opportunity to Submit Scientific Information
The Ef f ective Health Care (EHC) Program is interested in receiving supplemental evidence and
data (SEADs) f or systematic reviews that are relevant to the questions in our evidence reports. To
ensure that it has f ull access to relevant research, whether or not it is published, the EHC Program
is interested in receiving SEADs containing detailed study-specific inf ormation. Opportunities to
submit scientif ic information are available f or:
Postpartum Home Blood Pressure Monitoring, Postpartum Treatment of Hypertensive Disorders
of Pregnancy, and Peripartum Magnesium Sulf ate Regimens f or Preeclampsia With Severe
Features
(Available f or submission until April 1, 2022)
The purpose of the review is to summarize the f indings from (1) studies of home BP monitoring in
the postpartum period, (2) studies of pharmacological treatment of HDP in the postpartum period,
and (3) studies comparing the ef f ectiveness and harms of different MgSO4 regimens in patients
with preeclampsia with severe f eatures to prevent eclampsia during the peripartum period. For the
third topic, the peripartum period is operationally defined as the time interval prior to, during, or
af ter delivery when individuals may be diagnosed with preeclampsia with severe f eatures. For all
topics, the review will summarize f indings related to differences in treatment ef f ectiveness (and
harms) in dif f erent populations, with an emphasis, as f easible, on f actors related to healthcare
disparities and pregnancy-related risk f actors.
