Sim Pub with #AHA24 in Circ: CQO: 🫀In Pre/E Blacks⬆️MACE rates than Whites & > 50% of MACE happens 2 wks after delivery 🫀pre-delivery cardiology care ⬇️MACE by 69% for Whites but not Blacks 🧵 (1/4)

🫀Data limited by Optum’s proprietary non validated algorithm that classifies race & ethnicity as geospatial variables and name: potential misclassification of Blacks as White patients, underestimation of outcomes for Blacks

🫀Unable to account for patients' SE status, as DUA allows researchers to either use date of death or other SE status variables but not both together. 🫀Results may vary for uninsured or underinsured

🫀No info on patients' CV risk prior to pregnancy ie CARPREG II score (cardiac disease in pregnancy risk index) Read More: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI… #AHAJournals Ritu Thamman MD Brahmajee Nallamothu AHA Science Sadiya Khan LaPrincess C.
