Introduction: Medical disorders complicating pregnancy have recently emerged as the most common cause for maternal morbidity and mortality and it is important to predict mortality risk when they present in moribund state to emergency obstetric care so as to take and timely effective measures to prevent mortality.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over 6 months among pregnant and post-partum women with medical disorders who sought emergency obstetric care at a tertiary care hospital. Severity of morbidity was assessed using SOFA and APACHE II scores at admission.
Objectives: Maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality among pregnant women with pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) and Eisenmenger syndrome are unacceptable, and management decision-making in these clinical scenarios remains debatable. This study aimed to compare and analyse clinical characteristics, management and pregnancy outcomes in PAH and Eisenmenger syndrome.
Design: Prospective observational cohort study.
