  • Title: [Risk indices in stroke and cerebral TIA: a retrospective analysis in hospitalized patients].
    Author: Bruzzese V, Giardina F.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1994 Jun; 85(6):313-9. PubMed ID: 8084434.
    Abstract:
    In a group of 936 patients admitted to our Hospital for ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack we studied the association with three diseases which have been identified as risk factors by several international trials: diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atrial fibrillation. We found diabetes mellitus in 24.1% of our patients, hypertension in 44.3%, atrial fibrillation in 17%. We also found a significative difference between men and women for hypertension and atrial fibrillation; respectively 39.6% versus 49.1% (p < 0.01), and 11.4% versus 22.6% (p < 0.01).
