Our purpose is to support evidence-based maternity care
of women who are planning pregnancy and are at risk of
an HDP, have an HDP in the current pregnancy, or are
postpartum and had an HDP. When necessary, we have
provided expert opinion about reasonable clinical care.
Our health intent and aim is to improve short- and longterm
maternal, perinatal, and paediatric outcomes and the
cost-effectiveness of related interventions in pregnancies
complicated by an HDP. The expected benefit of this
guideline is improved outcomes for mother, baby, and child
through evidence-advised practice. Our target users are
multidisciplinary maternity care providers from primary to
tertiary levels of health care.
