Statin Use Linked to Reduced Risk for Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Risk reduced for lobar and nonlobar intracerebral hemorrhage; greater reductions seen with prolonged use ≥5 years
Impact of Climate Change on Neurologic Health Reviewed
Associations seen for temperature extremes and variability with stroke, migraines, hospitalization in dementia, MS exacerbations
IHD, Stroke Risk Up for Offspring Born to Moms With Preeclampsia
Association mainly independent of preterm or SGA birth, may be partly explained by unmeasured familial factors
Brain Bleeds Up in Patients With COVID-19 Treated for Ischemic Stroke
Patients with acute ischemic stroke and COVID-19 also had worse clinical outcomes, including increased mortality
Moderate-to-Heavy Drinking Linked to Stroke Risk in Young Adults
Positive dose relationship observed, which was mainly driven by hemorrhagic stroke
Endovascular Therapy Aids Outcome of Basilar-Artery Occlusion
Two randomized trials reveal favorable outcomes but procedural complications, more intracranial hemorrhages with endovascular therapy
Air Pollution Tied to Stroke and Trajectories After
Strongest association seen for first stroke and weaker associations seen for cardiovascular events, death after stroke
Genetic Predisposition to Smoking Causally Linked to Stroke Outcomes
Link remained significant in multivariable Mendelian randomization analyses adjusting for genetically predicted alcohol consumption
Flu Vaccine Offers Moderate Protection From Stroke
After full adjustment, association between influenza vaccination and ischemic stroke yielded adjusted odds ratio of 0.88
ABO Variants Linked to Risk for Early-Onset Ischemic Stroke
Variants tagging blood groups O1, A1 more strongly linked to early- versus late-onset stroke; genetic risk for VTE also linked to EOS
