The objective of the study was to explore the associations between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the subsequent development of autoimmune diseases. Findings suggest that women with a history of pregnancy-induced hypertension face a higher long-term risk of autoimmune diseases, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and preventive care.
