What is International trends in pulmonary hypertension mortality between 2001 and 2019: Retrospective analysis of the WHO mortality database about?

## Background There are limited published data on mortality trends in pulmonary hypertension (PH) worldwide. The objective of this study was to assess the PH-related mortality and time trends in the general population over the past 20 years. ## Material and methods We used country-level PH mortality data from the World Health Organization (WHO) mortality database (2000–19), using the International Classification of Diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10) codes (I27.0, I27.2, I27.8, or I27.9). The average annual percentage changes (AAPCs) were calculated to describe mortality trends. ## Results Fifty-four countries were included in this study. Between 2017 and 2019, the average age-standardized death rates (per 100,000) were 0.80 and 0.87 for males and females, respectively. Joinpoint analyses revealed a decreasing PH mortality trend for the overall population from 2000 to 2019 (AAPC -3.2 [95% confidence interval (CI) −4.1 to −2.4]), which was consistent between males and females (males: AAPC -5.3 [95% CI –6.2 to −4.4], females: AAPC -1.7 [95% CI –2.4 to −0.9]). When the estimates were stratified by etiology, we found that the mortality rates from idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertensio
