The association between guidelines adherence and clinical outcomes during pregnancy in a cohort of women with cardiac co-morbidities.

<h4>Background/aims</h4>Maternal and infant morbidities associated with pregnant women with cardiac conditions are a global issue contingent upon appropriate care. This study aimed to describe the clinical variables and their association with the adherence scores to perinatal guidelines...
