Umbilical Cord Milking in Nonvigorous Infants: A Cluster-Randomized Crossover Trial
Approximately 6 million infants each year require resuscitation at birth. Requiring this intervention is associated with higher risk of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebral palsy, attention-deficit or hyperactive disorder, autism, neonatal stroke, and death. In infants needing resuscitation, optimal cord management is essential to enhance placental transfusion. Delayed cord clamping (DCC) is used to enable placental transfusion in vigorous infants, but in nonvigorous infants—those who are limp, pale, or have minimal or no breathing—early cord clamping (ECC) is recommended. Another intervention for nonvigorou...

Medically Attended Acute Adverse Events in Pregnant People After Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Booster Vaccination
Obstet Gynecol. 2023 May 11. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005241. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this multisite, observational, matched cohort study of more than 80,000 pregnant people, receipt of an mRNA monovalent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster vaccination in pregnancy was not associated with increased risk for thrombocytopenia, myocarditis, venous thromboembolism, ischemic stroke, or other serious adverse events within 21 or 42 days after booster vaccination. The mRNA monovalent COVID-19 booster in pregnancy was associated with an increased risk for medically attended malaise or fatigue within 7 days of vac...

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and long-term risk of maternal stroke —a systematic review and meta-analysis
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with a long-term risk for cardiovascular disease among parous patients later in life. However, relatively little is known about whether hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke in later life. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the available literature on the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the long-term risk for maternal stroke.

Ischemic stroke and the use of etonogestrel implant on adolescent
There is few scientific evidence of good quality on the relationship between an ischemic stroke and the isolated use of progestins. In general, it does not suggest an elevation of this risk. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies continuation of the etonogestrel implant as category 3 if the event occurred while using it.

Considerations for Contraceptive Use Among Patients with Migraines
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThere is an overlap in the populations of patients who suffer from migraine headaches and patients who seek contraception. The purpose of this review is to present recent studies on contraception among patients with migraines and provide clinical recommendations.Recent FindingsMigraine with aura and combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) use are associated with increased ischemic stroke risk. The use of CHCs in patients with migraine with aura produces a higher risk of ischemic stroke than either factor individually; therefore, CHC is contraindicated in this population by certain guidelines. However...

Stroke in Pregnancy
This article will review current information about the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, management, and outcomes of conditions associated with maternal stroke.Recent FindingsPregnancy confers a substantially increased risk of stroke in women. The period of highest risk of stroke is the peripartum and 6-week post-partum period, coinciding with the highest risk for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and peak gestational hypercoagulability. Physiological changes of pregnancy, including hypercoagulable states, venous stasis, and hemodynamic changes, are significant contributors to maternal stroke. However, hyperte...

Pregnancy-Related Stroke: A Review
Conclusions and Relevance Early recognition and management are integral in decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with a stroke in pregnancy. Relevance Statement This study was an evidence-based review of stroke in pregnancy and how to diagnose and mange a pregnancy complicated by a stroke. Target Audience Obstetricians and gynecologist, family physicians Learning Objectives After completing this learning activity, the participant should be better able to identify the pregnancy-related risk factors for a stroke; explain the presenting signs and symptoms of a stroke in pregnancy; describe...
