Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Cirrhosis incidence in pregnancies from outside the United States (US) is rising, although contemporary data including maternal and perinatal outcomes within the United States are lacking. METHODS: Using discharge data from the racially diverse US National Inpatient Sample, temporal trends of cirrhosis in pregnancies were compared with noncirrhotic chronic liver disease (CLD) or no CLD. Outcomes included preterm birth, postpartum hemorrhage, hypertensive complications (preeclampsia, eclampsia, and/or hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome), and maternal or fetal death. Logistic regression was adjusted for age, race, multiple gestation, insurance status, and prepregnancy metabolic comorbidities. RESULTS: Among 18,573,000 deliveries from 2012 to 2016, 895 had cirrhosis, 119,875 had noncirrhotic CLD, and 18,452,230 had no CLD. Pregnancies with cirrhosis increased from 2.5/100,000 in 2007 to 6.5/100,000 in 2016 (P = 0.01). On adjusted analysis, cirrhosis was associated with hypertensive complications (vs no CLD, OR 4.9, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 3.3-7.4; vs noncirrhotic CLD, OR 4.4, 95% CI 3.0-6.7), postpartum hemorrhage (vs no CLD, OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.6-4.8; vs noncirrhotic CLD, OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2-3.5), and preterm birth (vs no CLD, OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.9-4.9; vs noncirrhotic CLD, OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.3-3.3, P ≤ 0.01). Cirrhosis was statistically associated with maternal mortality, although rarely occurred (≤ 1%). DISCUSSION: In this racially diverse, US population-based study, pregnancies with cirrhosis more than doubled over the past decade. Cirrhosis conferred an increased risk of several adverse events, although maternal and perinatal mortality was uncommon. These data underscore the need for reproductive counseling and multidisciplinary pregnancy management in young women with cirrhosis.
