摘要

Aim

The clinical profile of the disease in southern Nigeria is less reported. This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics and intra-hospital outcomes of PPCM in Ibadan, south-west Nigeria.

Materials and Methods

We reviewed 69 cases of PPCM seen in Nigerian Women at the University College Hospital Ibadan between 2006 and 2021.

Results

The mean age at presentation was 30.5 ± 6.7 years (age range 18 – 46 years). The mean BMI was 23.5 kg/M2. Most were from the low socio-economic group (47/68.1%) and presented postpartum. The majority were primipara; twin pregnancy was seen in four (5.8%), and PIH occurred in 10 (14.5%) cases. Heart failure was the most typical mode of presentation. Over 90% of the women had spontaneous vertex delivery. Fetal death was recorded in three (4.3%). Two women died. Both presented with severe heart failure and died within few days on admission.

Conclusion

PPCM in Ibadan, Nigeria, is relatively a disease of primipara from poor homes and in unbooked pregnant women. Improvement in maternal health will be invaluable in prevention of the condition in Nigeria.
