According to the new ACOG guidelines, which term replaces "mild preeclampsia"?

The term "mild preeclampsia" has been updated to "preeclampsia without severe features" in the new ACOG guidelines. This change emphasizes the classification of preeclampsia based on the presence or absence of severe features, which is crucial for management decisions and monitoring.

The term reflects a clearer understanding of the condition, distinguishing it from more severe forms that require different levels of care or intervention. This specific terminology helps to improve communication among healthcare providers and ensures that patients receive appropriate monitoring and treatment based on the severity of their condition.

In contrast, terms like "preeclampsia with mild features" are not utilized in the current guidelines, as they do not distinguish the condition appropriately in the context of risk assessment. Likewise, "pregnancy-induced hypertension" and "gestational hypertension" refer to different hypertensive disorders that do not accurately capture the specifics of preeclampsia, particularly its potential complications and necessary management strategies.
