Assessment of Severe Maternal Morbidity and Mortality in Pregnancies Complicated by Cancer in the US
Menée aux Etats-Unis, cette étude de cohorte analyse les morbidités maternelles sévères et la mortalité chez les patientes enceintes atteintes d'un cancer
Severe maternal morbidity is increasing in the US. The rising rate of maternal morbidity is likely driven by a multitude of factors, including increasing maternal age, higher rates of obesity, increased medical comorbidity among patients, and a rising cesarean delivery rate.To date, little data have examined the association between cancer and maternal morbidity and mortality. Not only is the incidence of cancer in women of reproductive age increasing, but as treatment improves, women with cancer are living longer. In addition, there has been an increased focus on fertility preservation in both men and women of reproductive age and with cancer. The objective of this cohort study was to examine nationwide trends and characteristics of severe maternal morbidity and mortality among pregnant women with cancer in the US.
