Risk of Cardiovascular Events During Delivery Hospitalization Among Pregnant Patients With Mental Health Conditions.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of maternal mortality. Mental health disorders are risk factors for cardiovascular disease in nonpregnant populations, but their association with delivery outcomes is unknown.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used delivery hospitalizations from the 2021 National Inpatient Sample. We used generalized estimating equations to fit quasi-Poisson regression models for cardiovascular severe maternal morbidity and mortality (SMM) events as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and non-SMM cardiovascular conditions or complications as defined by the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health. Incidence rate ratios were calculated for depression, anxiety, psychosis, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other mental health conditions. Results were adjusted for clinical risk, social risk, and pregnancy characteristics, and clustered by hospital.
resultsOf 667 502 delivery hospitalizations, 82 543 (12.4%) had a mental health diagnosis. Patients with mental health diagnoses were more likely to be White and from suburban areas. Overall, 791 (0.1%) patients had >1 SMM event and 9007 (1.3%) had a non-SMM cardiovascular condition or complication. Patients with mental health conditions had higher adjusted rates of cardiovascular SMM (adjusted incidence rate ratio, 2.36 [95% CI, 2.00-2.80],
conclusionMental health conditions may be risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events at the time of delivery. Future studies should aim to understand the physiological underpinnings of this relationship.
