Background: The current status of the dose-response relationship between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and new-onset stroke in hypertensive patients and its subtypes is unclear. This study aimed to determine the association between METS-IR and incident stroke and its subtypes within a cohort of Chinese hypertensive patients.

Methods: A total of 14032 hospitalized patients with hypertension from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2021, were included in this retrospective cohort study. Cox models and restricted cubic splines were applied to determine the association between METS-IR and the risk of stroke.

Results: During a median follow-up of 4.80 years, 1067 incident stroke cases occurred. Patients in the highest quartile group of METS-IR levels exhibited a higher risk of stroke (HR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.50-2.17) and ischemic stroke (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.60-2.42) than those in the lowest quartile group. However, no significant associations were observed between METS-IR and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Restricted cubic spline analysis suggested a nearly J-shaped association between METS-IR and risk of stroke and ischemic stroke (P for nonlinearity < 0.001). METS-IR did produce a significant improvement in the C statistic when added to the basic model (from 0.637 to 0.664, P < 0.001). Notably, the addition of METS-IR to the basic model resulted in a significant improvement in predicting incident total stroke and ischemic stroke.

Conclusions: This cohort study suggests a relationship between METS-IR and the risk of stroke and ischemic stroke. Further studies are required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Purpose: To examine associations between clinical measures (self-reported and clinician-administered) and subsequent injury rates in the year after concussion return to play (RTP) among adolescent athletes.

Methods: We performed a prospective, longitudinal study of adolescents ages 13-18 years. Each participant was initially assessed within 21 days of concussion and again within 5 days of receiving RTP clearance from their physician.

Previous observational studies have suggested at a potential link between migraine, particularly migraine with aura, and the susceptibility to early-onset ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate the causal effects of genetically determined migraine and its subtypes on the risk of early-onset ischemic stroke using the two-sample Mendelian randomization method. Genetic instrumental variables associated with migraine and its subtypes were acquired from two sources with the largest sample sizes available.

This study investigated the incidence of new-onset cardiovascular disorders up to 3.5 years post SARS-CoV-2 infection for 56,400 individuals with COVID-19 and 1,093,904 contemporary controls without COVID-19 in the Montefiore Health System (03/11/2020 to 07/01/2023). Outcomes were new incidence of major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), arrhythmias, inflammatory heart disease, thrombosis, cerebrovascular disorders, ischemic heart disease and other cardiac disorders between 30 days and (up to) 3.

Many lipid biomarkers of stroke have been identified, but the lipid metabolism in elderly patients with leukoaraiosis remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore lipid metabolic processes in stroke among leukoaraiosis patients, which could provide valuable insights for guiding future antithrombotic therapy. In a cohort of 215 individuals undergoing MRI, 13 stroke patients were matched with controls, and 48 stroke patients with leukoaraiosis were matched with 40 leukoaraiosis patients.

This study aims to compare the incidences of neurological deterioration (ND) and poor outcome (a modified Ranking scale > 2 points at discharge) among patients with different atherosclerotic stroke patterns. A total of 688 participants were categorized into 4 groups according to atherosclerotic stroke pattern: multiple small infarcts (MSI), single subcortical infarction (SSI), borderzone infarct (BZI) and large infarct groups. Among the 4 groups, MSI group had the lowest incidences of ND and poor outcome (13.
