1 ACOG/CDC Maternal Mortality Meeting Taking Maternal Mortality Review Into Action Deep Venous Thrombosis Michael J. Paidas, M.D. Professor Co-Director, Yale Women and Children s Center for Blood Disorders Co-Director, National Hemophilia Foundation-Baxter Clinical Fellowship at Yale Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences Yale University School of Medicine Aqua Room, Hilton Bayfront Hotel, May 6, 2012

2 Rate of VTE in pregnancy 1. The incidence of VTE increases exponentially with age, from 5/100,000/year among children to 6/1000/year among 80 year olds. 2. Among reproductive age women (< 40 years) the risk of VTE is 1/10, A retrospective cohort study of 268,525 patients over a 19 year period reported a prevalence of VTE of 1 per 1627 births. 4. Thus the risk of VTE is increased 6-fold during pregnancy. Cushman. Semin Hematol. 2007; 44:62-9. Gherman et al. Obstet Gynecol. 1999; 94:730-4.

3 DVT, PE & Trimester 1. DVT is more common in antepartum compared with postpartum period (74% vs. 26%; P<.001) (mean gest. age at Dx of 16.8 ± 2.4 wks). But puerperal period is only 6 wks, thus it is associated with the greatest risk per time. 2. Among patients with antepartum DVT, 50% are detected by 15 wks, 38% between 16 & 30 wks and only 17% after 30 wks. 3. In contrast, most PE s are diagnosed in the postpartum period (60%) and are strongly associated with cesarean delivery [Relative Risk (RR) of 30; p < 0.001]. Gherman et al. Obstet Gynecol. 1999; 94:730-4.
