Pregnancy-Related Differences in Cardiogenic Shock: A National Analysis of Etiology, Risk Factors, and Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiogenic shock is associated with high rates of mortality in pregnancy but remains understudied.

Objectives

We aim to understand the etiologies, risk factors, and outcomes of cardiogenic shock in women of childbearing age and identify whether there are pregnancy-related differences in procedural utilization.

Methods

We analyzed all delivery, pregnancy, and cardiogenic shock-related hospitalizations in reproductive-aged women (aged 18-45) using the National Inpatient Sample database (years 2016-2021).

Results

Pregnant women with vs without cardiogenic shock had higher rates of cardiovascular comorbidities and were more likely to have preeclampsia (21.3% vs 6.5%), placental hemorrhage (26.6% vs 4.3%), fetal death (10.0% vs 0.51%), and maternal death
