Variations in Risk Factors across Different Periods of Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Recurrence.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Accurately discerning periods of heightened risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) recurrence and managing modifiable risk factors are essential for minimizing overall recurrence risk. This study identified differences in the timing of stroke or TIA recurrence based on risk factors and patient characteristics to develop strategies for reducing recurrence in clinical practice.

Methods

We retrospectively selected patients with ischemic stroke or TIA at the Korea University Ansan Hospital Stroke Center between March 2014 and December 2021 using the prospective institutional database of the Korea University Stroke Registry. We collected demographic, clinical data, and categorized participants by recurrence timing (early within or late after 3 months). Usi
