Both of those identified risk factors are directly the result of the failures of their doctors and hospitals to get them 100% recovered. Will you stop blaming the patient and put the blame directly where it belongs? ON THE DOCTOR/HOSPITAL!
Risk factor control after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack
In this study, the status of risk factor control following ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (IS/TIA), and the impact on recurrent stroke in rural communities of northeastern China were calculated. Researchers conducted a population‐based, prospective cohort study including adults aged ≥ 35 years residing in rural northeastern China. Cardiovascular health examinations were conducted in 2012–2015 and followed up in 2018 to record any cardiovascular event. A baseline survey was used to capture control of risk factors after IS/TIA. The association between uncontrolled risk factors and stroke recurrence was assessed by using the Cox proportional hazard model. For the analysis, 575 were diagnosed with IS/TIA and were included out of the 10,700 participants. After IS/TIA, control of risk factors needs to be improved in rural communities of northeastern China to prevent recurrence and therefore alleviate the public health and economic burden of stroke. Over a median follow‐up of 4.43 years, the rate of stroke recurrence was 12%. Uncontrolled blood pressure and not achieving physical exercise targets were associated with an increased risk of recurrence, after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, family history of stroke, and current drinking.
