Abstract

Heart is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the UK. There is therefore a need to disseminate amongst the medical profession accurate information about contraception and pre-pregnancy counselling for women with heart disease. The risk of pregnancy depends on the specific and the individual patient. For example the risk of maternal death is up to 50% for those with pulmonary arterial hypertension but there is no anticipated extra risk for those with mild pulmonary stenosis compared to women without heart disease. Similarly although certain contraceptive methods are associated with unacceptable increases in risk for specific cardiac conditions it is not the case that most structural heart disease is an absolute contraindication for use of the combined oral contraceptive (COC).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
