Key clinical point: Pregnant women with migraine with aura had a significantly increased risk for both acute ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke.
Major findings: Pregnant women with vs without migraine had a higher incidence of acute ischemic stroke (0.1% vs 0.0%) and hemorrhagic stroke (0.3% vs 0.1%). The risk for acute ischemic stroke was highest in those with aura (odds ratio [OR], 23.26; 95% CI, 18.46-29.31), followed by those without aura (OR, 8.15; 95% CI, 4.79-13.88) and those with unspecified migraine (OR, 5.43; 95% CI, 4.72-6.25).
Study details: This population-based study utilized the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's National Inpatient Sample database and involved 19,825,525 pregnant women, of whom 1.1% had migraine.
Disclosure: The study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
