Increased retinal venule diameter as a prognostic indicator for recurrent cerebrovascular events: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT: Microvasculature of the retina is considered an alternative marker of cerebral vascular risk in healthy populations. However, the ability of retinal vasculature changes, specifically focusing on retinal vessel diameter, to predict the recurrence of cerebrovascular events in patients with ischemic stroke has not been determined comprehensively. While previous studies have shown a link between retinal vessel diameter and recurrent cerebrovascular events, they have not incorporated this information into a predictive model. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between retinal vessel diameter and subsequent cerebrovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Additionally, we sought to establish a predictive model by combining retinal veessel diameter with tradi
