Deans' stroke musings: Population-based study comparing predictors of ischemic stroke recurrence after index ischemic stroke in non-elderly adults with or without diabetes

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Journal Summary

A population-based study was conducted to distinguish recurrent ischemic stroke (IS) predictors and to ascertain the possible effect of secondary preventive medications on IS recurrence in non-elderly adults with or without diabetes. Researchers extracted data of 3,386 patients < 60 years old who had a history of index IS from the Malaysian National Neurology Registry from 2009 to 2016. Via SPSS version 22, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. In non-elderly adults after the index IS event, IHD was found as the main predictor of IS recurrence, regardless of diabetes status. The data revealed that after index IS, receiving antidiabetic and antiplatelet medications upon discharge were significant predictors of recurrent IS in non-elderly diabetic adults. A randomized clinical trial may be needed to ascertain the effect of secondary preventive medication on IS recurrence, especially in non-elderly adults.
