Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with recurrent ischemic stroke

Stroke Mar 16, 2019

Brown DL, et al. - In this investigation, researchers analyzed the link between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with recurrent stroke and mortality. Patients with ischemic stroke (2010–2015) were recognized in the BASIC project (Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christ). Through active and passive surveillance, recurrent ischemic stroke was identified. According to this large population-based study, SDB was related to male sex, Mexican American ethnicity, being insured, nonsmoking status, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, lower educational attainment, and higher body mass index. The results from the study indicate that recurring ischemic stroke, but not mortality, was linked to SDB. Consequently, SDB could be a substantial modifiable risk factor for poor stroke outcomes.
