Brief Report: Trends in Hospitalizations Due to Acute Coronary Syndromes and Stroke in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, 1996 to 2012
ConclusionIncreased awareness of the burden of CVD in patients with SLE has not yet translated into decreased rates of hospitalization for acute MI or stroke. This may be due to barriers in implementation of CVD risk factor modification or to SLE‐specific risks that have not yet been identified or effectively targeted.

Potential benefits of biologics on stroke and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A nationwide population ‐based cohort study in Taiwan
ConclusionBiologics used in RA patients have been shown to have a beneficial impact on improving clinical outcomes, including decreased risks of death and stroke. The economic burden from costs of biologics may be alleviated by improving outcomes.

Progression of Large Vessel Disease in Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis–Associated Ischemic Stroke: The Role of Vascular Imaging: A Case Series
Conclusions Vascular imaging, especially with color-coded duplex sonography, could play a role in the follow-up of patients with GCA-related IS and identify those patients with higher risk of recurrent stroke.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Have Better Outcomes Than Non-Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients When Hospitalized for Ischemic Stroke: Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample
Objectives The aims of this study were to compare the outcomes of patients primarily admitted for ischemic stroke with and without a secondary diagnosis of RA. Methods Data were abstracted from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2016 and 2017 database. The NIS was searched for hospitalizations for adult patients with ischemic stroke as principal diagnosis with and without RA as secondary diagnosis using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality. Hospital length of stay (LOS), total hospital charges, odds of receiving tissue plasminogen activator, ...

Risk of ischemic stroke in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Several chronic inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, have been demonstrated to increase ischemic stroke risk, but the data on polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) remain unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that reported odds ratio, relative risk, hazard ratio or standardized incidence ratio comparing ischemic risk in patients with PM/DM versus non-PM/DM participants. Pooled risk ratio and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated using a random-effect, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian a...

Stroke is Different in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Implications for Survival and Functionality
J Rheumatol. 2021 Mar 1:jrheum.201209. doi: 10.3899/jrheum.201209. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUndoubtedly, individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at higher risk for developing cerebrovascular disease than counterparts from the general population without SLE. In a metaanalysis of studies from around the world, the likelihood of individuals with SLE developing both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral and/or subarachnoid hemorrhage) was more than 2 times that of the general population1 Risks for stroke appear to be highest soon after SLE diagnosis, and concomitant antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)...
