ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although pregnancy-associated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasing and contributing to maternal morbidity, little is known about its impact on pregnancy. We examined the risk factors for and adverse pregnancy outcomes of HFpEF in pregnant women.METHODS:
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of pregnancy-related hospitalizations from 2009 to 2020 using the perinatal database of seven multicenters. Cases of HFpEF were identified using the International Classification of Diseases and echocardiography findings. The patients were categorized into the HFpEF and control groups. Risk factors were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis to generate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Furthermore, adjusted associations between HFpEF and adverse pregnancy outcomes were determined. Risk scores for the stratification of women at a high risk of HFpEF were calculated using a statistical scoring model.RESULTS:
Of the 34,392 women identified, 258 (0.76%) were included in the HFpEF group. In multivariate analysis, HFpEF was significantly associated with old maternal age (OR, 1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.07), multiple pregnancy (OR, 2.22; 95% CI 1.53-3.23), rheumatic disease (OR, 2.56; 95% CI 1.54-4.26), pregnancy induce hypertension (OR 6.02; 95% CI 3.61-10.05), preeclampsia (OR 24.66; 95% CI 18.61-32.66), eclampsia or superimposed preeclampsia (OR 32.74; 95% CI 21.60-49.64) and transfusion in previous pregnancy (OR 3.89; 95% CI 1.89-8.01). A scoring model to predict HFpEF with those factors achieved an area under the curve of 0.78 at cutoff value of 3. Women with HFpEF also had increased odds ratios of intensive care unit admission during the perinatal period (odds ratio, 5.98; 95% confidence interval, 4.36-8.21) and of postpartum hemorrhage (odds ratio, 5.98; 95% confidence interval, 2.02-3.64).CONCLUSIONS:
Pregnancy-associated HFpEF is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. A scoring model may contribute to screening HFpEF using echocardiography and preparing adverse pregnancy outcomes.Palabras clave
