Abstract

Migraine affects 28% of women in their pregnancy-capable years, and is associated with systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and increased risk of pregnancy-associated thromboembolic events. Migraine history has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) of placental origin, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and preterm birth (PTB). We tested the hypothesis that self-reported migraine in nulliparous individuals is associated with higher odds of APO.
