Abstract: obesity, cardiovascular diseases, etc).This study's objective was to describe the incidence in CARE over 2010-2020 in Alberta, Canada, as a foundational step in developing a provincial cardiometabolic health promotion pathway.METHODS: A population-based retrospective cohort was studied by linking provincial administrative databases.The Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) was used to identify all singleton delivery hospitalizations in Alberta over fiscal years 2010/11-2019/20.Those with prepregnancy cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, or kidney disease were excluded.CARE outcomes were classified using ICD 9 and/or 10 codes.The incidence of CARE were summarized according to year and were compared over time using Mann-Kendall tests.P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.RESULTS: We included 491,882 deliveries (314,222 women).The incidence of CARE increased by 27.4% from 19.0% in 2010/11 to 24.2% in 2019/20 (P < 0.05).Specifically, HDP increased from 6.1% to 7.7%, gestational diabetes from 5.7% to 10.0%, and birth weight < 2500 grams from 4.9% to 5.6% (P < 0.05).Preterm delivery and abruption did not significantly change.CONCLUSIONS: All CARE increased in Alberta by 27.4% over a 10-year period.These findings identify: (1) major gaps in implementation of evidence-based interventions to prevent CARE (eg, physical activity, low-dose aspirin); and (2) an increasing population with CARE at risk of premature cardiometabolic diseases to reach with health promotion interventions.
