Increased risk of ischemic stroke in patients with burn injury: a nationwide cohort study in Taiwan

Background/Purpose: The results of studies attempting to assess the risks of ischemic stroke in patients with burn injury have been conflicting. Furthermore, there is no long-term cohort study regarding the extended effects of burn injury on ischemic stroke. We investigated the risks of ischemic stroke in patients hospitalized with burn injury in Taiwan to evaluate whether the risk is higher compared to the general population.
