Overview

Case-control study examines stroke risk in patients post-ischemic ocular events, indicating critical follow-up needed.

Key Points

  • To explore the clinical characteristics influencing the risk of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack after ischemic ocular events.
  • Utilized Truveta Electronic Health Record database for incident ischemic ocular events between 2019 and 2024.
  • Conducted a case-control study to identify risk factors for ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack.
  • Applied logistic regression to estimate odds ratios for risk factors based on patient demographics and comorbidities.
  • Out of 11,297 individuals with ischemic ocular events, 13.5% had an ischemic stroke and 10.9% had a transient ischemic attack within one year.
  • Older age, hypertension, and carotid artery stenosis were identified as significant risk factors for both stroke and transient ischemic attack.
  • 9.4% of strokes or transient ischemic attacks occurred on the same day as the ocular event.
