The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Friday, December 10, 2021

Dear John,

The newest Leading To Health article looks closely at a Missouri
cardio-obstetrics program working to reduce maternal death.

Leading To Health: The Maternal Mortality Crisis

[link removed]

In December's Leading To Health column
,
author Michele Cohen Marill profiles a cardio-obstetrics program at
Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, in Missouri.

Cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of maternal mortality in
the US, and Black women face greater risk for pregnancy-related heart
attack, stroke, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and pulmonary embolism than
White women.

In December 2020, Saint Luke's Health System launched the nation's
first prospective registry of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy in the
US, starting with a pilot project in collaboration with Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston. The aim of the registry is to enroll 1,000
pregnant or postpartum women with a cardiovascular disorder and follow
them for five years to assess long-term effects of pregnancy on the
heart.

According to maternal-fetal medicine physician Karen Florio, "That's
one of the goals of the [registry]-to gather that data so we can
better counsel women about their risk."

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Ronald Valdiserri argues that our approach
to HIV

can inform the larger field of complex care.

R. Brett McQueen argues that understanding the effectiveness of health
service interventions

could help change the system from simply producing quality metrics to
producing value for patients.

Listen to our latest podcasts .
On today's episode of This Week, Jessica Bylander and Ellen Bayer
review the year in health policy
