Abstract

Objective: Primary aim of this study is to compare the prevalence of vascular events [VEs - acute ischemic stroke (AIS), transient ischemic attack (TIA), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and angina] among patients with status migrainosus and intractable migraine (SM), migraine with aura (MWA), migraine without aura (MWOA) and non-migraineurs. Secondary aim of this study is to evaluate the linkage of VEs and associated disability with different migraine subtypes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using National Inpatient Sample [2016-2017] for adult hospitalizations. We extracted a cohort of secondary diagnoses of specific migraine subtypes amongst which primary diagnoses of VEs were identified using ICD 10 code. Weighted analysis using chi-square and multivariable survey logistic regression was performed to identify prevalence of VEs and evaluate relationship and disability (using APRDRG Risk Severity Score) between VEs and migraine subtypes. Results: Out of total 58,259,589 US hospitalizations, 0.1%, 0.08% and 0.03% had SM, MWA and MWOA, respectively. Prevalence of AIS (5.5 vs 0.96 vs 1.96 vs 1.71%) and TIA (3.99 vs 1.07 vs 0.49 vs 0.38%) was higher amongst MWA in comparison with SM, MWOA and non-migraineurs, respectively. (p<.0001) Prevalence of AMI was lower amongst migraineurs (SM:0.40 vs MWA:0.86 vs MWOA:0.86 vs non-migraineurs:2.15%) but prevalence of angina was higher amongst MWOA (0.01 vs 0.07 vs 0.21 vs 0.06%). (p<.0001) MWA and MWOA were associated with higher odds of AIS [MWA - aOR 3.7; 95%CI 3.4-4.1; MWOA - 1.7 (1.3-2.1)] and TIA [MWA - 11.8 (10.5-13.1); MWOA - 4.0 (2.9-5.6)] compared to non-migraineurs. Angina was associated with MWOA [3.0 (1.4-6.8)]. AIS hospitalization with SM had 52% [1.52 (1.2-1.9)] higher odds of extreme/severe disability compared to MWA. TIA patients with SM had higher odds of disability compared to MWA [3.0 (2.1-4.3)] and non-migraineurs [1.9 (1.4-2.6)]. Angina with MWOA had a significant disability [1.5 (1.04-2.2)] compared to non-migraineurs. Conclusion: SM and MWA had a significant role not only to predict AIS, TIA and angina but also increase disability. Early identification and management of these migraine subtypes may prevent VEs and mitigate disability associated with them.
