Long-term Incidence of Ischemic Stroke Following Transient Ischemic Attack: A Nationwide Study During 2014-2020

Conclusions: Patients with first-time TIA had an ischemic stroke incidence of 6.1% during the 5-year follow-up period. Following adjustment for relevant comorbidities, this incidence was approximately five-fold higher than what was found for controls in the background population, and 40% lower than for patients with recurrent ischemic stroke.PMID:37622531 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.065446
