The BChE activity is reduced during pregnancy and postpartum period by up to 33%. However, it can also be reduced by mutations in the BChE gene. In this study, we assessed BChE activity and mutations in the BChE gene in pregnant and postpartum patients with prolonged duration of action of suxamethonium. It was hypothesised that at least 30% of patients with a low BChE activity did not have a mutation in the BChE gene.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this registry study we focused on pregnant and postpartum patients with a history of prolonged duration of action of suxamethonium referred to the Danish Cholinesterase Research Unit (DCRU) between March 2007 and January 2023. Primary outcome was the proportion of patients without a mutation among patients with a low BChE activity. Secondary outcomes were the proportion of patients with a low BChE activity and the proportion of patients with a mutation out of the total number of patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 40 patients were included and among patients with a low BChE activity, 6% (95% CI: 1%\u201321%) did not have a mutation.
