Background In‐hospital discontinuation of statins has been linked to poorer early stroke outcomes, but the consequences postdischarge or dose reduction statin treatment are unknown. The objective this study was explore effects on recurrent risk. Methods and Results We conducted a nationwide cohort using data from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Our source population comprised all patients who were prescribed within 90 days discharge after an ischemic between 2001 2012....
Critical stroke causes high morbidity and mortality. We examined if variables in the early stage of critical could predict in-hospital recruited 611 ischemic 805 hemorrhagic patients who were admitted within 24 h after symptom onset. Data analyzed with independent t test Chi square test, then multivariate logistic regression analysis. In stroke, National Institutes Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (OR 1.08; 95 % CI 1.06–1.11; P < 0.01), white blood cell count 1.11; 1.05–1.18; systolic...
To examine how diabetes in combination with cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, heart disease and stroke) geriatric conditions (cognitive impairment depressive symptoms) affects the odds of disability older adults.We analyzed data from a nationally representative sample people aged 65 years over (n=2727) participating 2005 National Health Interview Survey Taiwan. A total 473 participants had history self-reported physician diagnosed diabetes. Disability was defined as reporting...
It remains unclear whether statin therapy should be applied to ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation. The objective of this study was clarify can influence the prognosis in recent We identified fibrillation between 2001 and 2011 from Taiwan National Health Insurance Database. Patients not treated statins during first 90 days after index were matched a 2:1 ratio on basis age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, failure, estimated Institutes Stroke Scale, use...

Background: It is currently unclear about what to do for the patient who has a breakthrough ischemic stroke while receiving aspirin, so-called ‘aspirin treatment failure’. Objective: To compare effectiveness of clopidogrel vs. aspirin vascular risk reduction among patients were on at time index stroke. Methods: We analyzed Taiwan National Health Insurance registry which comprises beneficiaries aged ≥ 18 years. Code ICD-9 was used identify primary hospitalization diagnosis subjects...
Background: The efficacy of statin therapy in the prevention recurrent stroke and major adverse cardiovascularevents (MACE) was clearly established by SPARCL trial; but excluded patients whose index due to a presumed cardioembolic mechanism. As such, it remains unclear whether statins are beneficial patients, particularly those with atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective: To evaluate relationship between use future vascular risk reduction among recent ischemic AF Methods: We analyzed Taiwan...
