We developed a multi-institutional electronic health record\u2013based pregnancy cohort with rigorously defined cardiovascular outcomes to examine trends in prevalence of maternal cardiovascular comorbidities and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and incidence of pregnancy-related cardiovascular complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified pregnancy encounters that occurred between 2001 and 2019 from a primary care electronic health record cohort using International Classification of Diseases and Current Procedural Terminology codes. We used regular expressions to recover estimated gestational age from unstructured notes and used gestational age to define the pregnancy episode for each individual pregnancy. Leveraging this cohort, we quantified and examined trends in the prevalence of maternal cardiovascular comorbidities and CVD and incidence of cardiovascular complications in pregnancies over the course of 19 years of follow-up. We also compared clinical factors for pregnancies with and those without cardiovascular complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our pregnancy cohort comprised 56\u2009833 pregnancies among 38\u2009996 individuals (mean age at start of pregnancy, 32\u00b15 years).
