Dataset Information

Trends and Risk Factors Associated With Stroke Recurrence in China, 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Recurrent stroke rates have decreased substantially in Western countries. However, data on changes in stroke recurrence and risk factor patterns in China are limited.

Objective

To systematically assess stroke recurrence trends by evaluating temporal improvement in guideline-recommended secondary prevention treatment performance and changes in risk factor patterns over 10 years in China.

Design, setting, and participants

This post hoc cohort study was conducted based on data from the China National Stroke Registries (CNSRs, comprising 3 phases, I-III, from 2007-2018). Participants were patients with ischemic stroke who were enrolled in CNSR I or III within 7 days of symptom onset. Data were analyzed from September through November 2021.
