Incidence, Characteristics, and Outcomes of Stroke in Pediatric Patients with Celiac Disease

(1) Background: Celiac disease (CD) can cause long-term inflammation and endothelial dysfunction has been cited as a risk factor for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in pediatric patients. However, the rate outcomes of AIS patients with CD not explored large population. Our objective is to explore rate, severity, amongst on nationwide level. (2) Methods: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried from 2016 2020 principal diagnosis AIS. Patients concurrent (AIS-CD) were compared those without (AIS). Baseline demographics comorbidities, clinical variables hospital complications, rates tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) mechanical thrombectomy between two groups. main studied mortality, discharge disposition, length stay (LOS), total charges. (3) Results: Of 12,755 AIS, 75 (0.6%) had CD. There no differences or mortality AIS-CD more likely receive tPA at an outside within 24 h admission (p < 0.01) undergo (4) Conclusions: made up only 0.6% all No disposition suggests minimal absent role etiology stroke.
