ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Management of pregnancy and risk stratification in women with congenital heart diseases (CHD) are challenging, especially due to physiological haemodynamic modifications that inevitably occur during pregnancy.AIMS:
To compare the accuracy of the existing pregnancy cardiovascular risk scores in prediction of maternal complications during pregnancy in CHD patients. METHOD ANDRESULTS:
From 2007 to 2018, all pregnant women with a CHD who delivered birth after 20 weeks of gestation were identified. The discriminating power and the accuracy of the five existing pregnancy cardiovascular risk scores [CARPREG, CARPREG II, HARRIS, ZAHARA risk scores, and modified WHO (mWHO)] were evaluated.Out of 104 pregnancies in 65 CHD patients, 29% experienced cardiovascular complications during pregnancy or post-partum. For the five scores, the observed rate of cardiovascular events was higher than the expected risk. The values of area under the ROC curve were 0.75 (0.62-0.88) for mWHO, 0.65 (0.53-0.77) for CARPREG II, 0.60 (0.40-0.80) for HARRIS, 0.59 (0.47-0.72) for ZAHARA, and 0.58 (0.43-0.73) for CARPREG.CONCLUSION:
The modified WHO classification appeared to better predict cardiovascular outcome in pregnant women with CHD than the four other existing risk scores.Clinical Trial Registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04221048.Palavras-chave
