Abstract 10252: State Wide Pregnancy Outcomes for Adolescents and Adults with Single-Ventricle Congenital Heart Disease - A 14 Year Review

Abstract

Introduction: With advances in care, survival into adulthood of single-ventricle (SV) palliation is more frequent. Fertility and family planning in this setting is complex. In the general population, maternal mortality is 0.02%, post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is 3.1% and pre-eclampsia is 7.5%. There are limited data on outcomes of pregnancies of women with SV physiology. This study reviews deliveries of SV mothers in Texas over the past 14 years. Methods: This is a retrospective review of the Texas Inpatient Discharge Dataset, an administrative dataset containing most hospital discharges. All discharges of females≥15 years old between 1/1/2006-12/31/2019 were reviewed. ICD-9/10 diagnosis codes consistent with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), Double Inlet Ventricle (DIV)/Common Ventricle (CV), and Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome (HRHS)/Tricuspid Atresia (TA) were included. Pregnancy-related discharges were identified by ICD-9/10 codes. Descriptive and univariate statistics were utilized. Results: A total of 56 pregnancy-related discharges were identified, with 40 (71.4%) deliveries (Table). One (2.5%) was a twin gestation and 4(10%) had fetal demise. Number of annual deliveries increased from 0 in 2006 to 8 in 2019. Median gestational age was 37[IQR: 33.25-38] weeks, 7 (17.5%) had fetal anomalies and 7(17.5%) had poor fetal growth. Twelve (30%) underwent C-Section. Median length of stay was 3.5[2-5] days, 3(7.5%) mothers had PPH, 2(5%) required ventilator support, and there were no in-hospital mortalities. Conclusions: As the number of patients with SV surviving into adulthood increases, accurate counseling on risks of pregnancy is required. While these data cannot evaluate the outcomes for the delivered baby, they suggest favorable short-term outcomes for mothers with no in-hospital mortalities. Further research is needed to both understand outcomes for the delivered babies as well as potential longer-term sequelae for mothers.
