Screening for pregnancy complications
Complications in pregnancy may predispose mothers to later vascular and
metabolic disease. Sattar and Greer (p 157) say that these women
should be screened and given relevant health education. To help ensure
that appropriate women are screened, they suggest that adverse
pregnancy outcomes could be used in general practitioners' computer
databases for targeted health screening programmes. The potential for
modifying risk factors before a subsequent pregnancy or in early
pregnancy also requires further investigation.
