Total cholesterol, severity of stroke, and all-cause mortality.
To the Editor: The association of blood cholesterol with the risk of stroke, a very important clinical and public health issue, appears to be in dispute. To fuel the debate, Olsen et al1 reported a study of 513 patients admitted in a Copenhagen, Denmark hospital with acute ischemic stroke. All study data, including measures of total serum cholesterol (TSC) and the severity of stroke, were colle...
متن کاملAll-cause mortality, cholesterol and eggs.
To the Editor: The review by Spence et al concludes that those at risk of vascular disease (which Canadian is not?) should avoid cholesterol, particularly eggs. Before abandoning eggs, let us first consider total cholesterol and all-cause mortality. In most population studies, those with low(est) cholesterol die first. Typical is the Austrian Vorarlberg study with top mortality in the bottom qu...
متن کاملAll-cause mortality and obstructive sleep apnea severity revisited.
OBJECTIVE Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a pervasive problem that affects millions worldwide. It is strongly linked to hypertension, coronary artery disease, and stroke. However, its association with mortality is not clearly quantified. A large database of patients who underwent sleep testing was explored for associations with all-cause mortality. STUDY DESIGN Database study. SE...
متن کاملDepression, cardiac mortality and all-cause mortality
Depression is an illness that kills. The links between depression and medical illness are well established and bi-directional, but evidence is mounting that depression increases mortality as well as morbidity in adults, particularly older adults. We examine the evidence that the increase in mortality in depression applies to all-cause mortality as well as cardiac mortality, and describe plausib...
متن کاملHigher total serum cholesterol levels are associated with less severe strokes and lower all-cause mortality: ten-year follow-up of ischemic strokes in the Copenhagen Stroke Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Evidence of a causal relation between serum cholesterol and stroke is inconsistent. We investigated the relation between total serum cholesterol and both stroke severity and poststroke mortality to test the hypothesis that hypercholesterolemia is primarily associated with minor stroke. METHODS In the study, 652 unselected patients with ischemic stroke arrived at the hos...
