Key result
In pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension, overall maternal mortality was 3.0%, with significantly increased morbidity in those with pulmonary pressures ≥80 mmHg.
Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes in women with pulmonary hypertension resulting from different causes and to identify risk factors for adverse outcomes.
Population
603 pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension
Comparison
Outcomes compared across disease etiologies and pulmonary hypertension pressure levels
Design
Single-center observational study

Supports individualized preconception counseling in pulmonary hypertension; extends observational risk estimates but leaves optimal interventions open.

Pregnancy in women with pulmonary hypertension carries a 3.0% mortality rate, which is lower than previously reported but remains high in specific etiologies like Eisenmenger syndrome and with higher pulmonary pressures.
Miao et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy (n=603). Pulmonary hypertension was evaluated on Maternal mortality. In pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension, overall maternal mortality was 3.0%, with significantly increased morbidity in those with pulmonary pressures ≥80 mmHg.
