| Scientific title | |
| Study acronym | CHIPS | 
| Study objectives | To determine whether less tight control of mild-moderate nonproteinuric maternal hypertension, aiming for a diastolic Blood Pressure (dBP) of 100 mmHg, can decrease the risks of adverse perinatal outcome without increasing maternal risk compared with tight control, aiming for a dBP of 85 mmHg. This is the pilot study for the main randomised trial registered under ISRCTN71416914. | 
| Ethics approval(s) | Trial has been approved by the University of British Columbia Research Ethics Board. | 
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Mild-Moderate hypertension particularly of the short-term period of pregnancy. | 
| Intervention | Women will be randomised to either a 'less tight' group aiming for a dialstolic Blood Pressure (dBP) of 100 mmHg of maternal hypertension or a 'tight' group aiming for a diastolic BP of 85 mmHg of maternal hypertension. 'Less tight' control: a target dBP of 100 mmHg 1. If dBP is 95 - 99 mmHg, consideration should be given to decreasing the dose or stopping antihypertensive therapy among women already on treatment, and therapy should not be started among women on no treatment. 2. If dBP is less than 95 mmHg, antihypertensive therapy should definitely be decreased in dose or stopped among women already on treatment, and should not be started among women on no treatment. 3. If dBP is 101 - 105 mmHg, consideration should be given to starting antihypertensive therapy or increasing the dose of existing medication. 4. If dBP is greater than 105 mmHg, antihypertensive therapy should definitely be started or existing medication increased in dose. 'Tight' control: a target dBP of 85 mmHg 1. If dBP is 80 - 84 mmHg, consideration should be given to stopping or decreasing the dose of antihypertensive therapy among women already on treatment, and therapy should not be started among women already on treatment. 2. If dBP is less than 80 mmHg, antihypertensive therapy should definitely be decreased in dose or stopped among women already on treatment, and should not be started among women on no treatment. 3. If dBP is 86 - 90 mmHg, consideration should be given to starting or increasing the dose of existing antihypertensive medication. 4. If dBP is greater than 90 mmHg, antihypertensive therapy should definitely be started or existing medication increased in dose. | 
| Intervention type | Other | 
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Mean dBP at 28, 32 and 36 weeks gestation 2. One/more serious perinatal complications or birth weight less than third centile | 
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Clinician compliance with treatment protocols 2. Womens satisfaction with care 3. One/more serious maternal complications Other outcomes: 1. Very severe hypertension 2. Pre-eclampsia |
