- This Swedish register-based cohort study determined the separate and joint contribution of preeclampsia and multi-fetal pregnancy on a woman's risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. The study included 892 425 first deliveries between 1973 and 2010 of women born 1950 until 1971, identified in the Swedish Medical Birth Register. A composite outcome of CVD was retrieved through linkage with the National Patient and Cause of Death Registers. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to assess the risk of CVD in women who had preeclampsia in a singleton or multi-fetal pregnancy, adjusting for potential confounders, and presented as adjusted hazard ratios. Compared with women who had a singleton pregnancy without preeclampsia (the referent group), women with preeclampsia in a singleton pregnancy had an increased risk of CVD (adjusted hazard ratio 1.75 [95% CI, 1.64-1.86]). Women who had a multi-fetal pregnancy without or with preeclampsia did not have an increased risk of future CVD (adjusted hazard ratios 0.94 [95% CI, 0.79-1.10] and 1.25 [95% CI, 0.83-1.86], respectively). As opposed to preeclampsia in a first singleton pregnancy, preeclampsia in a first multi-fetal pregnancy was not associated with increased risk of future CVD. This may support the theory that preeclampsia in multi-fetal pregnancies more often occurs as a result of the larger pregnancy-related burden on the maternal cardiovascular system and excessive placenta-shed inflammatory factors, rather than the woman's underlying cardiovascular phenotype.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective Chest pain is the predominant symptom in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A lack of chest pain in patients with AMI is associated with higher in-hospital mortality, but whether this outcome is sustained throughout the first years after onset is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate long-term mortality in patients hospitalised with AMI presenting with or without chest pain. Methods All AMI cases registered in the SWEDEHEART registry between 1996 and 2010 were included in the study. In total, we included 172 981 patients (33.5% women) with information on symptom presentation. Results Patients presenting without chest pain (12.7%) were older, more often women and had more comorbidities, prior medications and complications during hospitalisation than patients with chest pain. Short-term and long-term mortality rates were higher in patients without chest pain than in patients with chest pain: 30-day mortality, 945 versus 236/1000 person-years; 5-year mortality, 83 versus 21/1000 person-years in patients <65 years. In patients >= 65 years, 30-day mortality was 2294 versus 1140/1000 person-years; 5-year mortality, 259 versus 109/1000 person-years. In multivariable analysis, presenting without chest pain was associated with an overall 5-year HR of 1.85(95% CI 1.81 to 1.89), with a stronger effect in younger compared with older patients, as well as in patients without prior AMI, heart failure, stroke, diabetes or hypertension. Conclusion Absence of chest pain in patients with AMI is associated with more complications and higher short-term and long-term mortality rates, particularly in younger patients, and in those without previous cardiovascular disease.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Previous studies on stroke recurrence in younger adults often contain small sample size which makes it difficult to study trends in stroke recurrence over a long period of time. Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate temporal trends in the risk of recurrence in younger patients with a first ischemic stroke. Methods: All men and women aged 18-54 years who had survived at least 28 days after a first ischemic stroke from 1987 to 2006 were identified in the Swedish Inpatient Register. The patients were stratified into four 5-year periods according to their admission period and were followed up for a total of four years after the index event with regard to recurrent ischemic stroke. A Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke. Results: Of the 17,149 ischemic stroke patients who were identified, 2432 (14.2%) had a recurrent ischemic stroke event within four years. From the first to the last periods (1987-1991 versus 2002-2006), the four-year risk of recurrent ischemic stroke decreased by 55% (hazard ratio 0.45, 95% confidence interval 0.39-0.53) in men and 59% (hazard ratio 0.41, 95% confidence interval, 0.33-0.50) in women. The cumulative four-year risk was 11.8% (95% CI 10.55-13.25) in men and 9.8% (95% CI 8.40-11.46) in women during the last five-year period (2002-2006). Conclusions: The risk of recurrence among younger ischemic stroke patients has decreased over the past 20 years. Despite these improvements, younger patients are still at a high risk for recurrent ischemic stroke.

Aspirin use during pregnancy and the risk of bleeding complications : a Swedish population-based cohort study
- 2021
-
Ingår i: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. - : Elsevier. - 0002-9378 .- 1097-6868. ; 224:1, s. 95.e1-95.e12

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Aspirin is offered to pregnant women to prevent preeclampsia, a severe obstetrical complication. Large studies of nonpregnant populations have consistently shown that aspirin prophylaxis increases the risk of hemorrhagic complications. However, there have not been any population-based studies investigating this in a pregnant population.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate whether aspirin use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of bleeding complications.STUDY DESIGN: We performed a register-based cohort study using the Swedish Pregnancy Register wherein we examined 313,624 women giving birth between January 2013 and July 2017. Logistic regression was used to assess the risk of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum hemorrhage. A propensity score and inverse probability treatment weighting was used to generate an odds ratio that corrects for differences in baseline characteristics.RESULTS: Aspirin use was registered in 4088 (1.3%) women during pregnancy. Compared with women who did not take aspirin, aspirin use was not associated with bleeding complications during the antepartum period (adjusted odds ratio, 1.22; 95% confidence interval, 0.97-1.54). However, aspirin users had a higher incidence of intrapartum bleeding (2.9% aspirin users vs 1.5% nonusers; adjusted odds ratio, 1.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.30-2.05), postpartum hemorrhage (10.2% vs 7.8%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.39), and postpartum hematoma (0.4% vs 0.1%; adjusted odds ratio, 2.21; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-4.34). The risk of a neonatal intracranial hemorrhage was also increased (0.07% vs 0.01%; adjusted odds ratio, 9.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.88-49.48). After stratifying by mode of birth, a higher incidence of bleeding among aspirin users was present for those who had a vaginal birth but not those who had a cesarean delivery.CONCLUSION: Using aspirin during pregnancy is associated with increased postpartum bleeding and postpartum hematoma. It may also be associated with neonatal intracranial hemorrhage. When offering aspirin during pregnancy, these risks need to be weighed against the potential benefits.

- Objective: Preeclampsia is a severe obstetric complication affecting 2–8% of pregnancies. There is a common belief that women with preeclampsia experience a shorter duration of labor, where it is thought that increased inflammation that occurs with the disease facilitates labor. However, little evidence exists to support or refute this. Thus, we undertook a register-based cohort study investigating the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and labor duration. Study design: This was a Swedish register-based cohort study of nulliparous women with spontaneous or induced onset of labor at >34 weeks of gestation with a singleton fetus in cephalic presentation. Information of duration of labor was retrieved from electronic birth records and compared between women with hypertensive disorders and normotensives pregnancies. Data was represented as mean adjusted difference in hours (adjusted for pre-gestational disorders, maternal characteristics and mode of delivery) and adjusted hazard ratios (aHR), with an event defined as vaginal birth and women with intrapartum caesarean section censored. An aHR >1 indicated shorter duration of labor. Results: Among 101,531 women, 5548 (5.5%) developed a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. The overall mean duration of labor was 9.43 (SD 5.32) hours. Women with hypertensive disorders experienced a shorter duration of labor compared to normotensive women, with an adjusted mean difference of -0.68 h (95% CI −0.90, −0.47) for gestational hypertension and -1.53 h (95% CI −1.72, −1.35) for preeclampsia. This corresponded to an aHR of 1.05 (95% CI 1.01, 1.10) and 1.12 (95% CI 1.08, 1.17), respectively. However, when we confined the analysis to those who labored spontaneously, the presence of hypertensive disorders did not alter duration of labor (aHR 0.98, 95% CI 0.95,1.01). Only women who were induced and also had hypertensive disorders experienced a shorter duration of labor (aHR 1.07, 95% CI 1.04,1.09). Conclusions: Hypertensive disorders did not alter labor duration among women with spontaneous onset of labor, however an association was observed among women who were induced. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
