Abstract
in English, German

Purpose: Official guideline published and coordinated by the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG). Hypertensive pregnancy disorders contribute significantly to perinatal as well as maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Also in Germany these diseases are a major course for hospitalization during pregnancy, iatrogenic preterm birth and long-term cardiovascular morbidity. Methods: This S1-guideline is the work of an interdisciplinary group of experts from a range of different professions who were commissioned by DGGG to carry out a systematic literature search of positioning injuries. Members of the participating scientific societies develop a consensus in an informal procedure. Afterwards the directorate of the scientific society approves the consensus. Recommendations: This guideline summarizes the state-of-art for classification, risk stratification, diagnostic, treatment of hypertensive pregnancy disorders.

Ziel: Offizielle Leitlinie, publiziert und koordiniert von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe (DGGG). Hypertensive Schwangerschaftserkrankungen verursachen weltweit einen hohen Anteil an der neonatalen und mütterlichen Morbidität und Mortalität. Auch in Deutschland tragen sie wesentlich zu Krankenhauseinweisungen während der Schwangerschaft, iatrogener Frühgeburtlichkeit und kardiovaskulärer Langzeitmorbidität bei. Methoden: Mitglieder der beteiligten Fachgesellschaften entwickeln in einem informellen Prozess einen Konsensus. Anschließend bestätigen die Direktorien der Fachgesellschaften diesen Konsensus. Empfehlungen: In der Leitlinie wird der aktuelle Standard für die Benennung, Früherkennung, Diagnostik, Behandlung und Nachsorge hypertensiver Schwangerschaftserkrankungen gegeben.

Keywords: HELLP syndrome; hypertension; preeclampsia.
