Does infertility treatment increase the risk of stroke-related hospitalization in postpartum women?
Does infertility treatment increase the risk of stroke-related hospitalization in postpartum women?
Infertility treatment is associated with an increased risk of stroke hospitalization within 12 months post-delivery, highlighting the need for close postpartum follow-up.
May warrant closer postpartum monitoring after infertility treatment; leaves open causality and generalizability pending prospective confirmation.
In this cohort study, infertility treatment was associated with an increased risk of stroke-related hospitalization within 12 months of delivery; this risk was evident as early as 30 days after delivery. Timely follow-up in the immediate days post partum and continued long-term follow-up should be considered to mitigate stroke risk.
