Differences in vascular risk factors between etiological subtypes of ischemic stroke: importance of population-based studies.
BACKGROUND To understand the mechanisms of stroke and to target prevention, we need to know how risk factors differ between etiological subtypes. Hospital-based studies may be biased because not all stroke patients are admitted. If risk factors differ between patients who are admitted and those who are not, then case-control studies will be biased. If the likelihood of admission also depends on...

متن کاملRisk Factors for Ischemic Stroke Subtypes
Background and Purpose—To evaluate risk factors for ischemic stroke by its subtypes may contribute to more effective prevention of ischemic stroke, but few prospective studies have characterized risk factors for specific subtypes of ischemic stroke. Methods—Between 1987 and 1989, 14 448 men and women aged 45 to 64 years and free of clinical stroke took part in the first examination of the Ather...
متن کاملInfection and risk of ischemic stroke: differences among stroke subtypes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although prior studies have demonstrated that 25% to 35% of stroke patients have had a recent infection, the role of infection as a risk factor remains unclear. Our aim was to characterize the effect of infectious/inflammatory syndromes on stroke risk. METHODS Case-control and crossover analyses of 233 cases and 363 controls aged 21 to 89 years were performed. Cases wer...
متن کاملCerebrovascular risk factors and stroke subtypes: differences between ethnic groups.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The excess risk of stroke seen in the black population has not been explained by differences in age, sex, and social class, although differences in the frequency of cerebrovascular risk factors may be partly responsible. Data on risk factor profiles for the UK black stroke population are sparse. Previous studies have contrasted the association of cerebrovascular risk fact...
