Impact of Pre-Existing Ischemic Heart Disease on Severe Maternal Morbidity and Mortality During Delivery Hospitalizations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of pre-existing ischemic heart disease (IHD) on pregnancy is incompletely described.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to compare adverse pregnancy outcomes between those with IHD and those with a cardiac diagnosis categorized by the modified World Health Organization classification and those without a cardiac diagnosis.

Methods

This retrospective study used the 2015 to 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Delivery hospitalizations, comorbidities, and outcomes were identified using diagnosis and procedure codes. The exposure was isolated IHD. The primary outcome was severe maternal morbidity (SMM) or death during the delivery hospitalization, analyzed using adjusted relative risk (aRR) regression and weighted to account for the Nationwid
