One-Year Disability Trajectories and Long-Term Cardiovascular Events, Recurrent Stroke, and Mortality After Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with stroke are often affected by varying degrees of functional disability and have different evolution patterns in functional disability. However, little is known about the predictive usefulness of disability changes after stroke. We aimed to describe 1-year disability trajectories and to assess the associations of longitudinal disability trajectories with 24-month clinical outcomes after ischemic stroke.

Methods and results

A total of 3533 patients with ischemic stroke from CATIS (China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke) were studied. Distinct trajectories of disability were identified by the group-based trajectory model, as measured by modified Rankin Scale score within 12 months. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to ex
