3 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 (r = −0.982, slope = −0.710 visits/100,000 patients/year, P = .003). The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

4 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 (r = −0.985, slope = −0.800 hospitalizations/100,000 patients/year, P = .002).

5 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 (r = −0.985, slope = −0.730 deaths/million patients/year, P = .002). The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
