Death of a partner and risks of ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage: A nationwide Danish matched cohort study

Journal of the American Heart Association Dec 05, 2020

Fenger‐Grøn M, Møller IP, Pedersen HS, et al. - Given that stress has been documented to cause stroke and the loss of a loved one is a potentially highly stressful experience, researchers explored the connections between bereavement and ischemic stroke (IS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) separately in contemporary care settings utilizing nationwide high‐quality register resources. The sample consisted of all Danish people whose partner died between 2002 and 2016 and a reference group of cohabiting individuals matched 1:2 on sex, age, and calendar time. There were 278,758 people who experienced partner bereavement during the study period; of these, 7,684 had an IS during the following 5 years and 1,139 had an ICH. For both IS and ICH risks, statistically significant positive correlations with partner bereavement have been reported, though especially for ICH in the short term. Absolute risk differences were, however, minimal.
