Acute ischaemic stroke in the absence of established vascular risk factors: Patient characteristics, stroke mechanism and long‐term outcome

Background and purpose Some acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients do not display established vascular risk factors (EVRFs).

description Background and purpose Some acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients do not display established vascular risk factors (EVRFs). The aim was to assess their clinical characteristics, stroke subtype etiological classification and long‐term outcome. Methods All consecutive AIS patients from the Acute Stroke Registry of Lausanne (2003–2018) were retrospectively analyzed with complete assessment of the following EVRFs: hypertension, diabetes, major cardioembolic sources, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, alcohol abuse, previous stroke/transient ischaemic attack and depression/psychosis. Patients without EVRFs were compared to patients with one or more EVRFs using appropriate statistical models. Results Of 4889 included patients, 103 (2.1%) had no EVRFs. In multiple regression analysis, patients without EVRFs were significantly younger (odds ratio [OR] 0.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.08–0.20) and had more multiterritorial strokes (OR 3.38; 95% CI 1.26–9.05). Strokes were more often related to patent foramen ovale (PFO) (OR 3.02; 95% CI 1.44–6.32) and less to atherosclerosis, cardioembolism or small vessel disease. In patients

In patients &lt;55 years old, PFO (OR 2.76; 95% CI 1.50–5.08) and contraceptive use in females (OR 2.75; 95% CI 1.40–5.41) were more frequent, whereas sleep apnea syndrome (OR 0.09; 95% CI 0.01–0.63) was less. In patients ≥55 years, female sex (OR 2.84; 95% CI 1.43–5.65) and active cancer (OR 3.27; 95% CI 1.34–7.94) were more prevalent. At 12 months, patients without EVRFs had worse adjusted functional outcome (Rankin shift ORadj 0.63; 95% CI 0.42–0.95) and higher rate of recurrence and death (adjusted hazard ratio 2.11; 95% CI 1.19–3.74). Conclusions In a consecutive cohort of AIS patients, only 2% showed no EVRFs.

Of a cohort of 4889 patients with acute ischaemic stroke, 2% showed no established vascular risk factors (EVRFs) after a comprehensive work‐up. The absence of EVRFs was independently associated with the presence of patent foramen ovale and contraceptive use in younger patients and with female sex and active cancer in elderly patients. Despite their more favorable risk profile, patients with stroke and no EVRFs had worse long‐term outcomes compared to patients with stroke and at least one EVRF.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1351-5101</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1468-1331</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/ene.14667</identifier><identifier>PMID: 33284528</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc</publisher><subject>Abuse ; acute ischaemic stroke ; Alcohol abuse ; Apnea ; Arteriosclerosis ; Atherosclerosis ; Blood vessels ; Cancer ; Confidence intervals ; Contraceptives ; Diabetes mellitus ; Drug abuse ; Dyslipidemia ; Etiology ; Females ; Health risks ; Hypertension ; Mathematical models ; Mental disorders ; Multiple regression analysis ; Psychosis ; Risk analysis ; Risk factors ; Sex ; Sleep ; Sleep disorders ; Statistical analysis ; Statistical models ; Stroke ; stroke etiology ; stroke in the young ; Transient ischemic attack ; vascular risk factor</subject><ispartof>European journal of neurology, 2021-04, Vol.28 (4), p.1275-1283</ispartof><rights>2020 European Academy of Neurology</rights><rights>2020 European Academy of Neurology.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2021 European Academy of Neurology</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c3537-a26993bc4db3bb2866c8c0c88de67fead15675e6222f86e815981bf3417412da3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c3537-a26993bc4db3bb2866c8c0c88de67fead15675e6222f86e815981bf3417412da3</cites><orcidid>0000-0002-1825-1874</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111%2Fene.14667$$EPDF$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111%2Fene.14667$$EHTML$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,1417,27924,27925,45574,45575</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/33284528$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Nannoni, Stefania</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Scherz‐Moussa Youma, Ali</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Amiguet, Michael</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Eskandari, Ashraf</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Strambo, Davide</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Michel, Patrik</creatorcontrib><title>Acute ischaemic stroke in the absence of established vascular risk factors: Patient characteristics, stroke mechanism and long‐term outcome</title><title>European journal of neurology</title><addtitle>Eur J Neurol</addtitle><description>Background and purpose Some acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients do not display established vascular risk factors (EVRFs).
