Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Epidural Blood Patch Utilization Among Obstetric Patients in the United States: A Nationwide Analysis, 2016-2020.
Anesth Analg
December 2024
From the Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, McGovern Medical School, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston), Houston, Texas.
Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care delivery can lead to inadequate peripartum pain management and associated adverse maternal outcomes. An epidural blood patch (EBP) is the definitive treatment for moderate to severe postdural puncture headache (PDPH), a potentially debilitating neuraxial anesthesia complication associated with significant maternal morbidity if undertreated. In this nationwide study, we examine the racial and ethnic disparities in the inpatient utilization of EBP after obstetric PDPH in the United States.

Article Synopsis
- The ARTEMIS registry investigates Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a serious condition occurring during late pregnancy or shortly after childbirth, focusing on clinical characteristics and outcomes in Turkish patients.
- The study observed 293 women primarily aged 25-35 diagnosed with PPCM, mostly presenting symptoms like shortness of breath, and found a low usage of advanced imaging techniques, relying mainly on echocardiography.
- Results indicated a 5.1% mortality rate among patients, emphasizing the need for better education for healthcare practitioners and the critical role of national registries in managing rare diseases like PPCM.
