Hemorrhagic stroke outcomes of KApSR patients with co-morbid diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vascular risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), are associated with poorer outcomes following many neurodegenerative diseases, including hemorrhagic stroke and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Combined AD and DM co-morbidities are associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke and increased Medicare costs. Therefore, we hypothesized that patients with DM in combination with AD, termed DM/AD, would have increased hemorrhagic stroke severity.

Methods

Kentucky Appalachian Stroke Registry (KApSR) is a database of demographic and clinical data from patients that live in Appalachia, a distinct region with increased health disparities and stroke severity. Inpatients with a primary indication of hemorrhagic stroke were selected from KApSR for retrospective analys
