Estimates of Prevalence of Pulmonary Hypertension according to Different International Definitions

Table 3

Prevalence and severity of pulmonary hypertension (mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg).

S. no.	Severity of pulmonary hypertension	Number of patients	Percentage	Female (n = 141)		Male (n = 98)
				No.	%	No.	%
1	No pulmonary hypertension	170	71.1	98	57.6	72	42.4
2	Mild pulmonary hypertension	39	16.3	26	66.7	13	33.3
3	Moderate pulmonary hypertension	28	11.7	17	60.7	11	39.3
4	Severe pulmonary hypertension	2	0.8	0	0.0	2	100.0

χ² = 3.988 (df = 3); ; χ² = 0.443 (df = 1); (for no pulmonary hypertension (n = 170) vs. pulmonary hypertension (n = 69)). mPAP, mean pulmonary artery pressure; df, degrees of freedom.
