- The study investigates long-term outcomes for young patients (ages 18-55) who experienced ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, focusing on recurrent vascular events and mortality rates over time.
- A total of 396 patients were followed for an average of 11.8 years, revealing that 22.5% experienced recurrent vascular events and 6.8% died during the follow-up period.
- Key findings included the association of atrial fibrillation with higher risk of recurrent events, highlighting the need for improved individual risk assessment and preventive strategies to reduce future occurrences.
Non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in younger population is a relatively rare event but is associated with considerable mortality and poor functional outcome. Imaging plays a crucial role in determining the underlying cause and guide treatment of ICH. In up to 41% of patients in prior studies, the underlying cause remained elusive.
