In the over-65-year age group, more rare causes of stroke, such as antiphospholipid syndromes, are unusual; such stroke etiologies are mostly seen in a younger age group (<55 years). Here we describe acute ischemic stroke in...

Risk of Spontaneous Intracranial Hemorrhage in HIV-infected Individuals: A Population-based Cohort Study
Background: We studied the association between HIV infection, antiretroviral medications, and the risk of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage.Methods: We performed a cohort and nested case control study in an administrative database. We selected all HIV-positive individuals presenting between 1985 and 2007. Each HIV-positive subject was matched with 4 HIV-negative individuals. We used a Poisson regression model to calculate rates of intracranial hemorrhage according to HIV status. We conducted a case -control study nested within the cohort of HIV-positive individuals to look at the effect of antiretroviral medications. Odd...
