Key result
Management of pregnant women with heart disease in a well-equipped high-risk pregnancy unit yielded outcomes nearly comparable to management in cardiology units.
Why the study?
Does management in a high-risk pregnancy unit yield comparable outcomes to cardiology units in pregnant women with heart disease?
Does management in a high-risk pregnancy unit yield comparable outcomes to cardiology units in pregnant women with heart disease?
Management of pregnant women with heart disease in a well-equipped high-risk pregnancy unit yields outcomes comparable to those managed in dedicated cardiology units.
May support high-risk pregnancy unit management for pregnant women with heart disease; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
This study on 408 pregnant women with heart disease tried to audit the management of these women in a well equipped highrisk pregnancy unit. The outcome was nearly comparable to that obtained in series where the management was done in cardiology units.
