Core Tip

Core Tip: Preeclampsia, as an idiopathic disease during pregnancy, is not conducive to the physical and mental health of pregnant women and the growth and development of the fetus, and will increase the risk of postpartum anxiety in pregnant women. This study identified the influencing factors of postpartum anxiety in patients with preeclampsia and constructed a predictive model, offering guidance for clinical risk assessment and preventive management.
