Abstrakt: Background: An increasing number of women with multiple sclerosis (wMS) are considering pregnancy. Prior studies suggest increased rate of elective cesarian sections (C-sections) in wMS.
Methods: The Canadian Multiple Sclerosis Pregnancy Study (CANPREG-MS) is a prospective study on pregnant wMS. This report shows comparisons between (i) CANPREG-MS wMS delivered by C-section and the general population and (ii) C-section and vaginal deliveries in this study cohort.
Results: CANPREG-MS has resulted in 170 deliveries with 63 by C-section. The proportion with C-sections in CANPREG-MS (37.1%) was significantly higher than that for the Canadian population (28%) ( p  = .0085). The majority (66.7%) of C-sections were not planned, and typically were performed for obstetrical indications. C-sections were performed at an earlier gestational age than vaginal deliveries, although birthweight did not differ by mode of delivery in wMS. MS relapses (3.2%) and pseudo-relapses (3.2%) were rare in the first month after C-section deliveries, regardless of disease modifying therapy decisions during gestation and postpartum.
Conclusions: C-sections were more common in wMS than the general population, but few were because of maternal MS. CANPREG-MS provides informative data for pregnancies in wMS with well-managed and relatively mild disease. This information is helpful to obstetrical and MS healthcare providers.
