Compared to controls, IVT-treated maternal IS patients had more frequently early (age-adjusted odds ratio (aOR)\u2009=\u20097.63, 95% CI 1.49\u201339.04) and major (aOR\u2009=\u20098.59, 95% CI 2.09\u201335.31) neurological improvements, measured using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale. Good functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale 0\u20132) at three months were equally common in maternal ISs and controls. No other complications were observed in IVT-treated maternal ISs than 1 (9.1%) symptomatic nonfatal intracranial hemorrhage. Among maternal IS patients treated with recanalization or conventional therapy, good functional outcome at the end of the follow-up was less common in recanalization-treated patients (66.7% vs 89.4%, aOR\u2009=\u20090.22, 95% CI 0.052\u20130.90), but otherwise outcomes were similar.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In this small nationwide cohort of maternal ISs, the complications of recanalization therapy were rare, and the outcomes were similar in IVT-treated maternal IS patients and controls.
