Pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes in women with a cerebrovascular-accident history prior to delivery - Evaluation of a population database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) in childbearing-age women are rare. We aimed to evaluate the association between CVA events prior to delivery and obstetrical and neonatal outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Nationwide Inpatient Sample (HCUP-NIS) database. All pregnant women who delivered or had a maternal death in the US from 2004 to 2014 were included in the study. We performed a comparison between women with an ICD-9 diagnosis of CVA before the delivery admission and those without. Obstetrical and neonatal outcomes were compared between the two groups.

Results

In total, 9,096,788 women fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Among them, 695 women (7.6 per 100,000) were diagnose
