Figure 1 Flow diagram showing number of visits of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) Group 1 in the emergency department (ED), number hospitalized, and number of all-cause deaths in the ED and in hospital, 2007-2011.

Figure 2 Number of visits in the emergency department (ED)/100,000 population of patients ≥18 years with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) according to year. The number of visits decreased from 2007-2011 (r = −0.982, slope = −0.710 visits/100,000 patients/year, P = .003).

Figure 3 Number of hospitalizations of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)/100,000 population of patients ≥18 years according to year. The number of hospitalizations decreased from 2007-2011 (r = −0.985, slope = −0.800 hospitalizations/100,000 patients/year, P = .002).

Figure 4 Number of deaths of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)/million population of patients ≥18 years according to year. The number of deaths decreased from 2007-2011 (r = −0.985, slope = −0.730 deaths/million patients/year, P = .002).

Figure 5 Number of deaths of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)/million population/year according to age. The death rate increased exponentially with age r = 0.992, P = .0001).
