Asthma
Maternal Morbidity - pre-existing
Descriptions:
QLD PDC: Asthma treated during this pregnancy. SA PDC: The woman required medication to prevent or treat asthma or had symptoms of asthma during this pregnancy. Asthma is not included if the woman only had a history of asthma i.e. childhood asthma or before she became pregnant. WA PDC: Any current medical conditions relevant to pregnancy, or maternal congenital abnormality or carrier trait, should be recorded including asthma.
VIC and TAS provide a free text field for maternal conditions, which may capture asthma. Tas PDC collects this information in Obstetrix Tas, a statewide Electronic Perinatal Database that is used in public maternity and publically contracted private hospitals throughout Tasmania.
