Risk of mortality and recurrence after first-time stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes: A Danish nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The prognosis for stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains poorly understood. We examined the risk of mortality and stroke recurrence in stroke patients with T2DM and stroke patients without diabetes.

Patients and methods

We conducted a population-based cohort study including all patients diagnosed with a first-time ischemic stroke (n = 131,594) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH, n = 15,492) in Denmark, 2005-2021. Patients with T2DM were identified using hospital diagnosis codes and glucose-lowering drug prescriptions. We calculated risks, risk differences, and risk ratios, standardized by age, sex, and calendar year of stroke admission.

Results

Following ischemic stroke, the 5-year standardized mortality was 46.1% for pat
