Impact of virtual reality-based rehabilitation on functional outcomes in patients with acute stroke: a retrospective case-matched study

Rheumatoid arthritis significantly increased recurrence risk after ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack
This study provides the first evidence that RA significantly increased recurrence IS/TIA risk. The changes of TG/HDL-C ratio may play some roles in the recurrence IS/TIA risk in RA patients. In addition, our results suggest that smoking increases the risk of recurrent IS/TIA in RA patients and reinforces the need for aggressive smoking cessation efforts in RA patients.
