Association Between Traumatic Brain Injury and Increased Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine whether exposure to traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with increased risk of stroke in adults compared with referents not exposed to TBI, and to understand whether an association exists throughout the spectrum of injury severity, whether it differs between the acute and chronic phases after TBI, and whether the association is greater with hemorrhagic compared with ischemic stroke after TBI.

Setting

A database search was conducted on January 22, 2021. Searches were run in MEDLINE (1946 to present), Embase (1988 to present), Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews (various dates), Scopus (1970 to present), and Web of Science (1975 to present).

Design

Observational studies that quantified the association of stroke after TBI compared with referents
