From the Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Unit, Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute (N.S.P., A.E.M., B.B.N., H.K.), Department of Neurology (N.S.P., A.E.M., B.B.N., H.K.), and Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Y.S.), Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY.

Background And Purpose: Liver disease is associated with both hemorrhagic and thrombotic processes, including an elevated risk of intracranial hemorrhage. We sought to assess the relationship between liver disease and outcomes after stroke, as measured by discharge disposition.

Methods: Using administrative claims data, we identified a cohort of patients hospitalized with stroke in California, Florida, and New York from 2005 to 2013.

From the Department of Neurology (N.S.P., J.C., H.K.), Division of Cardiology (M.G.K.), and Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute (N.S.P., J.C., H.K.), Weill Cornell Medicine, NY; and Department of Neurology, Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Department of Epidemiology, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, NY (A.K.B.).

Article Synopsis
  • Ventricular assist devices (VADs) have improved treatment for end-stage heart failure but increase the risk of strokes and other complications.
  • A study of 1,813 patients showed an annual stroke incidence of 8.7%, with ischemic strokes occurring at nearly double the rate of hemorrhagic strokes.
  • Women had a higher risk for stroke overall, especially hemorrhagic strokes, and experiencing a stroke was significantly linked to higher in-hospital mortality rates.
