Context: Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAS) is a common cause of hemiple gic cerebral palsy. Risk factors forthis condition have not been clearly defined . Objective: To determine maternal and infant characteristics associated with PA S. Design, Setting, and Patients: Case-control study nested within the cohort o f all 199176 infants born from 1997 through 2002 in the Kaiser Permanente Medica l Care Program, a managed care organization providing care for more than 3 milli on residents of northern California. Case patients were confirmed by review of brain imaging and medical records (n = 40). Three controls per case were randomly selected from the study population .Main Outcome Measure: Association of maternaland infant complications with risk of PAS. Results: The population prevalence of PAS was 20 per 100000 live births . The majority (85%) of infants with PAS were delivered at term. The following prepartum and intrapartum factors were more common among case than control infan ts:primiparity (73%vs 44%, P=.002), fetal heart rate abnormality (46%vs 14%, P < .001), emergency cesarean delivery (35%vs 13%, P=.002), chorioamnionitis (27%vs 11%, P=.03), prolonged rupture of membranes (26%vs 7%, P=.002), prolo nged second stage of labor (25%vs 4%, P < .001), vacuum extraction (24%vs 11%, P=.04), cord abnormality (22%vs 6%, P=.01), preeclampsia(19%vs 5%, P=.01), and oligohydramnios (14%vs 3%,P=.01). Risk fa ctors independently associated with PAS on multivariate analysis were history of infertility (odds ratio [OR], 7.5; 95%confidence interval [CI], 1.3-45.0), pr eeclampsia (OR, 5.3; 95%CI, 1.3-22.0), prolonged rupture of membranes (OR, 3.8 ; 95%CI, 1.1-12.8), and chorioamnionitis (OR, 3.4; 95%CI, 1.1-10.5). The rat e of PAS increased dramatically when multiple risk factors were present. Conclus ions: Perinatal arterial ischemic stroke in infants is associated with several i ndependent maternal risk factors. How these complications, along with their pote ntial effects on the placenta and fetus, may play a role in causing perinatal st roke deserves further study.
