Objectives: Pregnancy and the postpartum period are associated with an increased risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The incidence of missed or delayed diagnosis of pregnancy-associated stroke (PAS) in the emergency setting is unknown.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women hospitalized for labor and delivery identified through administrative claims data from all nonfederal EDs and hospitals in 11 states (New York 2006-2017, Florida 2005-2019, 3 states from 2016-2020, 6 states from 2016-2019).
Multiple randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) significantly reduces the risk of subsequent stroke as compared to aspirin monotherapy after high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke. We sought to evaluate the uptake of DAPT after high-risk TIA at a single center. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutive TIA patients admitted via the Emergency Department (ED) of Bern University Hospital (1/1/2018-12/31/2019).
