Maternal mortality was 36% in Eisenmenger's syndrome, 30% in PPH, and 56% in SVPH, with late diagnosis (OR 5.4, p=0.002) and late hospital admission (OR 1.1 per week of pregnancy, p=0.01) identified as independent predictive risk factors.

Overview

High mortality necessitates early diagnosis and admission in these pregnancies; confirms late presentation as independent predictor of death.

Structured PICO

P
Population
125 women with pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) complicating late pregnancy, including Eisenmenger's syndrome (n=73), primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) (n=27), and secondary vascular pulmonary hypertension (SVPH) (n=25).
O
Outcome
Maternal mortality and neonatal survivalhard clinical

Maternal mortality remains exceedingly high in pregnant women with pulmonary vascular disease, highlighting the critical need for early diagnosis, early hospital admission, and tailored peripartum care.
