Caesarean section and the association with migraine: a retrospective register-linked HUNT population cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the association between caesarean section and migraine in a population-based register-linked cohort study.

Setting

Data from the population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Studies (HUNT2 and HUNT3) were linked to information from the Norwegian Medical Birth Registry.

Participants

65 343 participants responded to the headache questions in any of the two HUNT studies. Only those answering the headache questions in HUNT2 or 3 and had information about mode of delivery in the Norwegian Medical Birth Registry (born after 1967) were included. Our final sample consisted of 6592 women and 4602 men, aged 19-41 years.

Outcomes

ORs for migraine given caesarean section. Analyses were performed in multivariate logistic regression models.
