Long-term Risk of Recurrent Cervical Artery Dissection After Pregnancy (LONG-RECAP Study)
Primary objective: To determine whether pregnancy increases the risk of recurrent CeAD and delayed stroke in women with prior CeAD based on long-term data.
Methods: Multicentric, observational case-control study based on pooled individual patient data from several stroke centers.
Primary endpoint: Primary composite outcome measure includes the following outcomes: (i) occurrence of recurrent CeAD, (ii) occurrence of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, (iii) death.
Inclusion: female; prior symptomatic cervical artery dissection (= index CeAD); at least one long-term follow-up visit (at least 6 months after the initial event); with information available on outcome events:; recurrent dissection; ischemic stroke; hemorrhagic stroke; functional outcome assessed by mRS score; with data on pregnancy after the initial event; at least 18 years old at the initial event.
Exclusion: Age <18 years; Male patients; No long-term follow-up available or long-term follow-up < 6 months after initial event; No data on pregnancy after initial event available.
