Objective:To conduct a comprehensive review on the current research status of postpartum follow-up for patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), and provide a basis and guidance for the management of postpartum follow-up for HDP patients.Methods:Guided by the methodological framework of the scoping review, the literatures on postpartum follow-up of HDP patients in Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP and Wanfang databases were retrieved, and search for relevant literature by the snowballing method. The search time range is from the establishment of the database to February 1, 2025. The included literature was analyzed and summarized.Results:A total of 32 literatures were included, including 31 in English and 1 in Chinese. The participation rate of postpartum follow-up for HDP patients is generally low, and the disease has a significant impact on long-term health. In addition, there is considerable variation in the content, format and time of follow-up. The follow-up content includes the patient's physical health status, long-term health risks and the availability of medical resources, etc.Conclusions:There are still deficiencies in the current implementation of postpartum follow-up for HDP patients. Existing follow-up studies lack high-quality randomized controlled trials as evidence support, and the influencing factors are complex and diverse. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation among multiple disciplines, closely integrate clinical guidelines with practical needs, and systematically evaluate the effectiveness of follow-up in clinical practice to enhance the scientific and effectiveness of follow-up and provide better health management support for HDP patients.
