Deans' stroke musings: Stroke Risk Up for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

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.

Stroke Risk Up for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

What is your doctor's EXACT PROTOCOL to prevent that?

Stroke Risk Up for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

The adjusted hazard ratio remained elevated even 25 years after diagnosis, corresponding to 1 additional stroke per 93 IBD patients.

HealthDay News — Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have increased risk of stroke, according to a study published online June 14 in Neurology.

Jiangwei Sun, Ph.D., from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and colleagues examined the risk of stroke among patients with a biopsy-confirmed IBD in Sweden between 1969 and 2019 and 5 matched reference individuals per patient randomly selected from the general population and IBD-free full siblings. Stroke was identified from the Swedish National Patient Register. The analysis included 85,006 patients with IBD; 406,987 matched reference individuals; and 101,082 IBD-free full siblings.

Researchers identified 3,720 incident strokes in IBD patients and 15,599 in reference individuals (incidence rates, 32.6 and 27.7 per 10,000 person-years, respectively; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.13). Even 25 years after diagnosis, the elevated adjusted hazard ratio remained increased, corresponding to 1 additional stroke case per 93 IBD patients. The excess adjusted hazard ratio was mainly due to ischemic stroke (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.14) and not hemorrhagic stroke. Across IBD subtypes, the risk of ischemic stroke was significantly increased (adjusted hazard ratios, 1.19, 1.09, and 1.22 for Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, and IBD-unclassified, respectively). When IBD patients were compared to their siblings, the results were similar.

“These results show that people with inflammatory bowel disease and their doctors should be aware of this long-term increased risk,” Sun said in a statement. “Screening and management of stroke risk factors may be more urgent in people with inflammatory bowel disease.”
