Etiological Subtypes of Transient Ischemic Attack and Ischemic Stroke in Chronic Kidney Disease: Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with stroke risk, but the mechanisms underlying this association are unclear and might be informed by subtype-specific analyses. However, few studies have reported stroke subtypes in CKD according to established classification systems, such as the TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) criteria. We, therefore, aimed to determine which transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke subtypes using the TOAST classification occur most frequently in patients with CKD. METHODS:In a population-based study of all transient ischemic attack and stroke (OXVASC [Oxford Vascular Study]; 2002-2017), all ischemic events were classified by TOAST subtypes (cardioembolism, large artery disease, small vessel disease, unde
