This study examined the postpartum remote blood pressure monitoring program at Boston Medical Center and showed that patients in the program take a home blood pressure measure about 15 times during the six weeks after delivery. This finding was similar across racial and ethnic groups and demonstrated that this program is an effective way to check the blood pressure of our patients.

This paper reviews the distribution of race, ethnicity, and ancestry in studies of genomics and preterm birth. The findings showed that Black or African American populations were under-represented and research of the genomics of preterm birth not only requires increased representation of populations that are disproportionately affected, but it also requires standardized reporting of race, ethnicity, and ancestry.
