Development and validation of a short tool to assess the awareness of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a cross-sectional study among pregnant women in Lebanon.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) are responsible for most perinatal and fetal mortality. Few programs are patient-centered during pregnancy, thereby increasing the risks of misinformation and misconceptions among pregnant women and, as a result, malpractices.
objectiveThis study aims to develop and validate a form to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about HDPs. STUDY
designA cross-sectional pilot study was conducted over 4 months, targeting 135 pregnant women from 5 obstetrics and gynecology clinics. A self-reported survey was developed and validated, and an awareness score was generated.
resultsThe mean maternal age of the participants was 27.3 (5.3) years. About 80% of the participants reported that they monitored their weight during pregnancy, and 70.4% monitored their blood pressure, out of which 73.8% performed it at the doctor's clinic only. Overall, participants had a total score of 16.9 (3.1) over 25 with higher attitude scores than knowledge scores. Less than half of the patients (45.2%) knew the cut-off for hypertension. With respect to knowledge statements, higher scores were noted for statements related to the symptoms of HDPs, and lower scores were reported for statements related to some HDP complications. Older women and those who monitored their blood pressure during pregnancy had significantly higher awareness scores. Those working had higher awareness of HDPs (67.4%), whereas about half of nonworkers (53.9%) showed lower awareness scores (
conclusionPregnant women had moderate awareness of HDPs. The short 25-item tool developed in the present study can be used in obstetric clinics to explore the awareness of women of HDPs.
