Rates and predictors of risk of stroke and its subtypes in diabetes: a prospective observational study

Conclusions
Older people with a history of stroke were at highest risk of stroke, but the prognosis and prognostic factors of subtypes were heterogeneous. The results will help clinicians quantify the absolute risk of stroke and its subtypes for typical diabetes patients.
