Five-year readmission and mortality differ by ischemic stroke subtype

Ischemic stroke subtype may influence the risk of readmission and mortality after ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to differences in comorbidity, risk factors, and stroke severity. We aimed to study the five-year incidence and risk of all-cause readmission, cause-specific readmission and mortality after IS or TIA by stroke subtype.
