There has been a rise in hospitalizations for PPH in recent months. This can be seen as either a good thing or a bad thing. It is bad because it means that there are more people needing hospital stays to help with their disease. The good news is that doctors are catching the disease and actually diagnosing it more frequently.

The more frequent diagnosis can be seen as a good or a bad thing as well. It can be good if the increase in diagnosis is due to better tests for the diseases. If it is for more people having the disease, then this increase can be bad.

The increase in admissions can be because the population is aging and more susceptible to diseases related to the heart. It is good that the disease is being treated because if it is untreated, people generally die within three years. Doctors used to have one treatment option for PPH. Now, though, they have five.
