Infections have been identified as a trigger for strokes in young people and have been associated with strokes during delivery hospitalizations, but a temporal relationship has been difficult to establish. We hypothesized that infections diagnosed during a delivery admission would be associated with an increased risk of readmission for postpartum stroke.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project\u2019s National Readmissions Database from 2010 to 2014.

There were 1189 HS (intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage) and 720 IS, and the remainder unspecified pregnancy-related stroke. Adjusting for age and comorbidities, women with delivery infections were at higher risk of readmission for postpartum stroke of any type (aRR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01\u20131.41). Women with infections had higher risk of readmission for postpartum IS (aRR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.37\u20132.22), but not for postpartum HS (aRR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.75\u20131.23). The effect of infection on 30-day IS readmission was larger in women without hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (aRR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.55\u20132.69 in women without hypertensive disorders of pregnancy versus aRR, 1.47; 95% CI, 0.9\u20132.38 in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              value for interaction=0.09).\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Infection during delivery hospitalization was associated with increased risk of readmission for IS, but not HS, within 30 days postpartum, particularly in women without hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
