Infertility Treatment Increases Stroke Hospitalization Risk

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this study of 31 million pregnant individuals who delivered between 2010 and 2018, 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 postpartum and continued long-term follow-up should be considered to mitigate stroke risk.
