Qualifying Event and Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke in Symptomatic Artery Occlusion: A Post Hoc Analysis of CMOSS.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The authors aimed to elucidate the relationship between latest ischemic event and the incidence of subsequent ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic artery occlusion.

Methods and results

We analyzed the association between qualifying event-the latest ischemic event (transient ischemic attack [TIA] or stroke)-and the incidence of ipsilateral ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic artery occlusion treated with medical therapy alone in CMOSS (Carotid or Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Surgery Study). The incidence of CMOSS primary outcomes, including any stroke or death within 30 days after randomization or ipsilateral ischemic stroke between 30 days and 2 years, between the bypass surgical and medical groups, stratified by qualifying events, was also co
