Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study will prospectively record the incidence, prevalence, etiology, outcomes, and follow up of maternal cardiac disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the obstetric population of South Australia. No active participation will be required to participate in this study, as only clinical data from medical records will be collected. Not additional testing or interventions are required for participants. After the index pregnancy, participants will be contacted for follow-up annually for ten years postpartum.

Statistical methods / analysis
A variety of techniques will be used, as the different hypotheses and data structures require different approaches. The nature of this study is one that involves multiple endpoints and a complex data structure. For many predictors and outcomes there will be multiple measurements for each woman over time, as well as changing patterns of comorbidities. Descriptive techniques and multivariate analysis will determine odds ratio/relative risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, adjusted for maternal demographic and disease-specific parameters. Chi-squared tests, Student’s t-test, Fisher’s exact tests and multivariate logistic regression will be used as appropriate. Analyses will be performed using SPSS V.27.0.

Summary
Brief summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiac disease are two significant health conditions that can influence a woman’s pregnancy, however little is known about their prevalence and health impact within the South Australian population. These pregnancies are associated with significant risks of morbidity and mortality and propose a challenge to clinicians who manage them. The aim of this study is to prospectively record the incidence, prevalence, etiology, outcomes and follow up of maternal chronic diseases in the obstetric population of South Australia. This is a prospective cohort study of pregnant women with acquired or chronic cardiac or kidney disease.
