BACKGROUND: Recently under the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) PPCM registry the first predictive score was derived. This study sought to test the validity of this predictive score in a cohort of women with PPCM in Uganda. METHODS: 80 PPCM cases enrolled had a 12-lead electrocardiography, echocardiography at baseline and at 6-months follow-up. Core clinical data included LVEF, LVEDD, duration of symptoms, QRS duration and pre-eclampsia were captured. RESULTS: Recovered participants' scores included one case who scored ≤ 1 and one of 2, six cases had a score of 3, fifteen cases had a score of 4, six cases had a score of 5, two cases had a score of 6 and only five cases had the highest score of 7. The discrimination analysis achieved a c-statistic of 0.67. CONCLUSION: The ESC EORP PPCM LV predictive recovery score under performed in predicting LV recovery in our Ugandan PPCM cohort.
