METHODS We examined studies on the epidemiology,...
متن کاملIncidental Statin Use and the Risk of Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack after Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Interventions to reduce the risk for cerebrovascular events (CVE; stroke and transient ischemic attack [TIA]) after radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNCA) are needed.

متن کاملPredicting recurrent stroke after minor stroke and transient ischemic attack.
The risk of a subsequent stroke following an acute transient ischemic attack or minor stroke is high, with 90-day risk at approximately 10%. Identification of those patients at the highest risk for recurrent stroke following a transient ischemic attack or minor stroke may allow risk-specific management strategies to be implemented, such as hospital admission with expedited work-up for those at ...

METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort registry that enrolled subjects from 2006 to 2008 in the United States. Depression (defined by the Patient Health Questionn...
