Disability Status and Secondary Prevention Among Survivors of Stroke: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the 2011 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among survivors of stroke, adherence to secondary prevention care is associated with decreased risk of recurrent stroke. However, not all survivors of stroke use secondary stroke prevention treatment. We examined the association between the disability status of survivors of stroke and their treatment and control of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

Methods and results

In a cross-sectional analysis of the 2011 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we compared diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension treatment and control rates among self-reported survivors of stroke age ≥20 years with and without disability. Disability was defined as self-reporting any of 5 physical or 4 functional domains assessed using a structured questionnaire. L
