Persistent Postpartum Preeclampsia Occurrence and Associated Risk Factors in Ghana-A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background and Aims: Postpartum preeclampsia poses serious health risks including eclampsia, stroke, pulmonary edema, renal failure, and eventually death. However, there is a paucity of data on persistent postpartum preeclampsia among Ghanaian women, limiting the development of tailored interventions to reduce associated morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors associated with persistent postpartum preeclampsia in Ghana. Methods: A hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at St. Joseph Hospital, Koforidua, involving 210 women. Medical records and folders were used to collect sociodemographic, clinical, and obstetric data of the study participants. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26.0. Results: The prevalence of persistent postpartum preeclampsia was 15.2%. After adjusting for multiple confounders in the multivariate logistic model, cesarean section delivery [(aOR = 4.72, 95% CI (1.90-11.72), Conclusion: Persistent postpartum preeclampsia affects a considerable proportion of women in Ghana with cesarean delivery and chronic hypertension emerging as independent predictors. These findings highlight the need for close monitoring and follow-up care for women with these risk factors during the postpartum period.
