Preeclampsia is associated with increased long-term risks of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and stroke. International guidelines recommend structured follow-up care to prevent chronic disease, but limited research has explored women’s knowledge of these risks, and their preferences regarding long-term follow-up care. This may impede how obstetric information is used for chronic disease prevention in practice.

This qualitative study used purposive and snowball sampling to recruit women in Ireland diagnosed with preeclampsia at least one year prior. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online, exploring awareness of chronic disease risks and provision of follow-up care. Thematic analysis was performed using an inductive approach.
