Data were retrieved from a multistate US-based health system from 2000 to 2022 on pregnant women with a diagnosis of migraine.

Of the patients in the triptan group, 43.74% reported full-term delivery, compared with 53.09% in the no-triptan group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups on full-term delivery (relative risk [RR], 0.84; 95% CI, 0.71 to 1.01; absolute risk difference [RD], -0.08; 95% CI, -0.16 to 0.00), pre-term delivery (RR, 1.35; 95% CI, 0.96 to 1.91; RD, 0.05; 95% CI, -0.01 to 0.11), and cesarean delivery (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.91 to 1.44; RD, 0.04; 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.12).
