A Study Of Pectus Excavatum In Pregnancy Outcomes

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between pectus excavatum and pregnancy outcomes. Few cases have been published examining this relationship. Through this project, we aim to analyze pregnancy outcomes in patients with pectus excavatum who became pregnant before bar placement, during bar placement, or after bar removal. Outcomes of interest include symptom exacerbation during pregnancy and neonatal outcomes (e.g., prematurity, health status at birth).
