| Abstract | The authors looked at differences in the characteristics and outcomes for participants in PHAR across US census regions. Adults with PAH in PHAR were divided into regional groups (Northeast, South, Midwest, West) and baseline differences between census regions were studied. Treatment characteristics varied by census region and mortality appeared to be lower in PHAR participants in the West. The differences were not easily explained by differences in demographic characteristics, PAH etiology, baseline severity, baseline medication regimen, or disease prevalence. |
