About

The relation between obesity and stroke recurrence is still under debate. In this study it has been sought whether baseline obesity is associated with recurrent stroke and major cardiovascular events in a long-time period.

Full description

Five-years follow-up data of Ege Stroke Registry for stroke recurrence and cardiovascular events regarding to obesity were analyzed. Data include age, gender, stroke severity, neuroimaging studies, cardiovascular risk factors. Within the inclusion period, all of the included patients were followed until censoring (10th of December 2011) or readmission because of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular event or death, whichever came first. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Cox proportional hazard model was applied to identify predictors of recurrent vascular events.
