The ICF Classification System to Assess Risk Factors for CVD in Secondary Prevention after Ischemic Stroke and Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT: Background and objectives: Patients with a history of prior stroke have a high risk for subsequent cardiovascular events (CVD). Therefore, the implementation of an effective strategy to reduce risk factors and thereby improve secondary prevention outcomes is crucial in this patient population. The aim of this study was to determine differences in the incidence of risk factors for recurrent CVD events based on clinical type of prior stroke and to characterize them using the ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) classification system. Materials and Methods: The incidence of risk factors for recurrent CVD events were retrospectively analyzed in 109 patients with a history of ischemic stroke (IS) and 80 patients with a history of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) within 14 days poststroke. Results: Atrial fibrillation/flutter (p = 0.031), >70% carotid artery stenosis (p = 0.004), blood pressure >140/90 mmHg (p = 0.025), blood HbA1c levels >7% (p = 0.002), smoking (p = 0.026) and NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) use (p < 0.001) were significantly more common in patients with a history of ischemic stroke. However, liver function test abnormalities were observed more commonly in patients with a history of hemorrhagic stroke (p = 0.025). Conclusions: The incidence and type of risk factors for recurrent CVD events vary according to the clinical type of prior stroke. The ICF classification system is a useful tool for evaluating these risk factors. This may help reduce the risk of subsequent CVD events.

Project description:Background Data on the relative contribution of clinical and neuroimaging risk factors to acute ischemic stroke (AIS) versus intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurring on oral anticoagulant treatment are scarce. Methods and Results Cross-sectional study was done on consecutive oral anticoagulant-treated patients presenting with AIS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or ICH from the prospective observational NOACISP (Novel-Oral-Anticoagulants-In-Stroke-Patients)-Acute registry. We compared clinical and neuroimaging characteristics (small vessel disease markers and atherosclerosis) in ICH versus AIS/TIA (reference) using logistic regression. Among 734 patients presenting with stroke on oral anticoagulant treatment (404 [55%] direct oral anticoagulants, 330 [45%] vitamin K antagonists), 605 patients (82%) had AIS/TIA and 129 (18%) had ICH. Prior AIS/TIA, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, and worse renal function were associated with AIS/TIA (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] [95% CI] 0.51 [0.32-0.82], 0.48 [0.26-0.86], 0.55 [0.34-0.89], and 0.82 [0.75-0.90] per 10 mL/min). Prior ICH, older age, higher admission blood pressure, and statin treatment were associated with ICH (aOR [95% CI] 6.33 [2.87-14.04], 1.37 [1.04-1.81] per 10 years, 1.19 [1.10-1.29] per 10 mm Hg, and 1.81 [1.09-3.03]). Cerebral microbleeds and moderate-to-severe white matter hyperintensities contributed more to ICH (aOR [95% CI] 2.77 [1.34-6.18], and 2.62 [1.28-5.63]). Aortic arch, common and internal carotid artery atherosclerosis, and internal carotid artery stenosis ≥50% contributed more to AIS/TIA (aOR [95% CI] 0.54 [0.31-0.90], 0.29 [0.05-0.97], 0.48 [0.30-0.76], and 0.32 [0.13-0.67]). Conclusions In patients presenting with stroke on oral anticoagulant, AIS/TIA was 5 times more common than ICH. A high atherosclerotic burden (indicated by cardiovascular comorbidities and extracranial atherosclerosis) and prior AIS/TIA contributed more to AIS/TIA, while small vessel disease markers and prior ICH were stronger determinants for ICH.
