Ischemic stroke in liver cirrhosis: epidemiology, risk factors, and in-hospital outcomes
Conclusion Ischemic stroke was often observed in patients with cirrhosis, and it significantly increased the in-hospital mortality. The association of inflammation, coagulation disorders, and viral hepatitis with development of ischemic stroke in liver cirrhosis should be further evaluated in prospective cohort studies.

Preventive Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation on Ischemic Stroke-Induced Constipation Mediated via the Autonomic Pathway.
CONCLUSION: Ischemic stroke patients are predisposed to autonomic function imbalance. TEA was effective in the prevention of stroke-induced constipation, and the effect was possibly mediated via the autonomic function. PMID: 29746169 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk of Stroke in Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Stroke is uncommon in cirrhotic patients. However, considering a positive relationship of liver cirrhosis with subarachnoid and intracranial hemorrhage, the prophylactic strategy may be selectively adopted in cirrhotic patients.

Risk score to predict gastrointestinal bleeding after acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion: The AIS-GIB score is a valid clinical grading scale to predict in-hospital GIB after AIS. Further studies on the effect of the AIS-GIB score on reducing GIB and improving outcome after AIS are warranted.

Clinical features in liver cirrhosis patients who have experienced ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Our results show that a comparatively high frequency of ischemic stroke occurs in patients with alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis and in patients with a less compromised liver function. In addition, it was found that most patients possessed at least one risk factor of ischemic stroke. PMID: 25599784 [PubMed - in process]

Is cirrhosis associated with lower odds of ischemic stroke: A nationwide analysis?
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that in a large, nationally representative sample of the United States population, cirrhosis is associated with a lower likelihood of stroke. PMID: 28050237 [PubMed]

Associations between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and ischemic stroke.
Authors: Alkagiet S, Papagiannis A, Tziomalos K Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the commonest chronic liver disease and affects a considerable proportion of the general population. NAFLD is independently associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events, particularly coronary heart disease. Importantly, even though NAFLD is more prevalent in patients with major cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity and hypertension), the association between NAFLD and cardiovascular disease appears to be independent of these risk factors. However, NAFLD also appears to incre...

NAFLD increases Risk of Carotid Atherosclerosis and Ischemic Stroke. An Updated Meta-Analysis with 135,602 Individuals
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis shows that a stepwise increment of steatosis of NAFLD can significantly increase the odds of carotid atherosclerosis and stroke development in NAFLD. More than a third suffer from carotid atherosclerosis and routine assessment of carotid atherosclerosis is quintessential in NAFLD.PMID:35232007 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2021.0406
