Background.
To evaluate the association of migraine and asthma and to estimate the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in relation to maternal comorbid migraine and asthma.
Methods.
Reproductive age women (N=3.731) were interviewed during early pregnancy.
At the time of interview, we ascertained participants’ migraine and asthma status.
From medical records, we collected information to allow the diagnosis of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and preeclampsia.
Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using logistic regression procedures.
Results.
After adjusting for confounders, migraineurs had 1.38-fold increased odds of asthma as compared with nonmigraineurs (95% CI 1.09–1.38).
The odds of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were highest among women with comorbid migraine-asthma.
The ORs for PIH preeclampsia and the two disorders combined were 2.53 (95% CI 1.39–4.61), 3.53 (95% CI 1.51–8.24), and 2.64 (95% CI 1.56–4.47), respectively, for women with comorbid migraine-asthma as compared with those who had neither disorder.
Conclusion.
These findings confirm prior reports and extend the literature by documenting particularly high odds of pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia among women with comorbid migraine-asthma.
Increased knowledge about the prevalence and sequelae of comorbidities during pregnancy may lead to improved symptom management and perinatal outcomes.
