Racial Differences in Delivery Outcomes Among Women With Peripartum Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare idiopathic cardiomyopathy associated with pregnancy that occurs more frequently among Black women. However, less is known about the association of race/ethnicity with outcomes at the time of delivery in women with PPCM.

Methods

We used data from the 2016-2018 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to identify women with a diagnosis of PPCM based on International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) codes. Using adjusted logistic regression, the association of race with PPCM and adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes with PPCM was evaluated across racial/ethnic groups (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander).

Results

Among 11,304,996 delivery hospitalizations, PPCM was present in 8735 (0.08%).
