Abstract
Introduction
The incidence of ischemic stroke in young adults is increasing worldwide, and it is not uncommon in our region. It is associated with the presence of traditional vascular risk factors. However, there is little information about its prognosis, unlike other age groups. The objective of this study is to determine mortality, both in the short and long term follow-up, and the long-term follow-up recurrence of ischemic stroke in young adult patients in Aragon, making up the first study of this kind in Spain, and one of the few that addresses this issue in Europe.
Methods
Multicenter, observational, retrospective study of all patients between 18 and 50 years old who were admitted for an ischemic stroke in any hospital in Aragon between 2005-2015. The follow-up was carried out until March 31, 2021. Mortality, causes of death and recurrence of cerebrovascular events were collected, stratifying the sample based on the sex and age group of the patients. Logistic and Cox regression models were used to determine the factors associated with mortality and recurrence.
Results
721 patients were included (697 with long-term follow-up). Mortality was 3.3% in the first 30 days. Long-term mortality and recurrence was 9.2% and 11.9% at a median of 10.1 years of follow-up. The most frequent cause of death in the short term was of neurovascular origin and in the long term was cancer. Having a NIHSS > 15 was associated with higher short-term mortality. Arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, excessive alcohol consumption, atrial fibrillation and peripheral vascular disease were associated with long-term mortality. A history of previous stroke, diabetes mellitus, and atherothrombotic etiology were associated with a higher cumulative risk of stroke recurrence.
Conclusions
Mortality and recurrence of ischemic stroke in young adults in Aragon, although lower than that described by other studies, is by no means negligible and is associated with the presence of traditional vascular risk factors.
期刊介绍:
Neurología es la revista oficial de la Sociedad Española de Neurología y publica, desde 1986 contribuciones científicas en el campo de la neurología clínica y experimental. Los contenidos de Neurología abarcan desde la neuroepidemiología, la clínica neurológica, la gestión y asistencia neurológica y la terapéutica, a la investigación básica en neurociencias aplicada a la neurología. Las áreas temáticas de la revistas incluyen la neurologia infantil, la neuropsicología, la neurorehabilitación y la neurogeriatría. Los artículos publicados en Neurología siguen un proceso de revisión por doble ciego a fin de que los trabajos sean seleccionados atendiendo a su calidad, originalidad e interés y así estén sometidos a un proceso de mejora. El formato de artículos incluye Editoriales, Originales, Revisiones y Cartas al Editor, Neurología es el vehículo de información científica de reconocida calidad en profesionales interesados en la neurología que utilizan el español, como demuestra su inclusión en los más prestigiosos y selectivos índices bibliográficos del mundo.
