Pregnancy-Associated Stroke and Outcomes Related to Timing and Hypertensive Disorders
CONCLUSION: A nationally representative sample of hospitalizations in the United States indicates an increasing trend in the rate of postpartum stroke. Almost half of hospitalizations with pregnancy-associated stroke have concomitant hypertensive disorders. Risk of adverse outcomes, but not mortality, is elevated in patients with stroke occurring in the postpartum period and stroke associated with hypertensive disorders.PMID:37411017 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005249

Hypertensive disorders and pregnancy-related stroke: frequency, trends, risk factors, and outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Having traditional stroke risk factors substantially increased the stroke risk among hypertensive disorders of pregnancy hospitalizations. Stroke with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy had two distinctive characteristics: a greater increase in frequency since the mid-1990s and significantly higher stroke-related complication rates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: : III. PMID: 25560114 [PubMed - in process]

Implications of Female Sex on Stroke Risk Factors, Care, Outcome and Rehabilitation: An Asian Perspective
Background: Stroke affects 16.9 million people annually and the greatest burden of stroke is in low- and middle-income countries, where 69% of all strokes occur. Stroke risk factors, mortality and outcomes differ in developing countries as compared to the developed world. We performed a literature review of 28 articles pertaining to epidemiology of stroke in Asian women, stroke risk factors, gender-related differences, and stroke outcomes. Summary: Asian women differ from women worldwide due to differences in stroke awareness, risk factor profile, stroke subtypes, and social issues that impact stroke care. While Asian men ...

A review of stroke in pregnancy: incidence, investigations and management
AbstractKey contentThe incidence of stroke in young and middle ‐aged adults is increasing, with pregnancy‐related strokes occurring in 30 in 100 000 pregnancies; strokes are three times more common among pregnant than among nonpregnant individuals aged 15–44 years.The investigation and management of stroke is changing because of the time ‐sensitive benefits of thrombolysis and thrombectomy in the acute management of ischaemic stroke.The approach to clinical assessment and investigation of a pregnant woman presenting with suspected stroke is not different from that of a non ‐pregnant patient:; timely brain imagi...

Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy and Future Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review (P2.114)
CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension in pregnancy likely carries an increased risk for stroke in later life, especially when associated with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia. There may be benefit in targeting these women for close risk-factor monitoring and control beyond the post-partum period.Disclosure: Dr. Ganesh has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sarna has nothing to disclose. Dr. Mehta has nothing to disclose. Dr. Smith has nothing to disclose.

Maternal Stroke: an Update
AbstractPurpose of the ReviewMaternal morbidity and mortality is rising in the USA, and maternal stroke is a major contributor. Here, we review the epidemiology, risk factors, and current recommendations for diagnosis and acute treatment of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke during pregnancy and postpartum, focusing on recent evidence.Recent FindingsThe incidence of maternal stroke has risen in recent years, possibly due to increasing rates of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The risk of maternal stroke is highest in the peripartum and early postpartum period. Preeclampsia is highly associated with reversible cerebral vas...

Maternal death from stroke: a thirty year national retrospective review
Conclusion: This is the largest UK study examining the incidence of fatal maternal stroke in pregnancy and the puerperium. Our results highlight the high proportion of women who die from stroke in the puerperium. Sub-standard care featured especially in regard to management of dangerously high systolic blood pressure levels. These deaths highlight the importance of education in managing rapid-onset hypertension and superimposed coagulopathies.

The prognostic value of serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, S100 and high sensitivity C-reactive protein in acute ischemic stroke patients without heparin administration.
CONCLUSION:: Serum PAPP-A, S100 and hs-CRP were associated with stroke severity or outcome after ischemic stroke and may offer complementary information, essential for clinical decision making. Serum PAPP-A showed a potential value for the evaluation of stroke clinically. PMID: 25117449 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

National registry‐based case–control study: comorbidity and stroke in young adults
ConclusionsIn addition to vascular risk factors, comorbidity (represented by ICD‐10 chapters) was associated with increased risk of stroke in young individuals. The risk of stroke was further increased with the number of diagnosed ICD‐10 chapters.

Clinical Characteristics of PFO Stroke in Pregnancy (P2.274)
CONCLUSIONS: PFO may pose unique risks compared to non-PFO related stroke in pregnancy. Novel risk factors such as May-Thurner’s anatomy, which promote venous clotting with the increase in abdominal girth are important during pregnancy. For high risk individuals (such as those with known hypercoagulable state), screening for PFO may be of clinical utility in preventing strokes. Further studies are ongoing to validate these preliminary findings. Study Supported by: None.Disclosure: Dr. Chen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Deng has nothing to disclose.
