Study outcomes were cardiovascular events all-cause mortality within 12 months after onset. applied Cox proportional hazard model evaluate study stroke. Results Within stroke, there 106 (7.5%) 69 (4.9%) deaths. Kaplan–Meier plots showed that had highest risk 12-month follow-up (Log-rank P = 0.02). Multivariate adjusted ratio 95% confidence intervals (CIs) versus 0.43(0.20–0.91) for events. No significant fully 0.62(95% CIs, 0.23–1.67).
