The predictive role of CHA2DS2–VASc score between venous thromboembolism and ischemic stroke: a large-scale cohort study
Conclusion: Our study is the first to concern the performance of CHA2DS2–VASc score in predicting the risk of ischemic stroke in VTE patients and the risk of VTE in ischemic stroke patients. Nevertheless, the performance of the score was modest, and the transportability of the score in these populations still needs to be defined.

2021 Taiwan Stroke Society Guidelines of blood pressure control for ischemic stroke prevention
J Chin Med Assoc. 2022 May 2. doi: 10.1097/JCMA.0000000000000738. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of the present guideline is to update the 2015 Taiwan Stroke Society (TSS) blood pressure (BP) Control for Treatment and Prevention of Stroke guideline (2015 TSS BP guideline). Since the publication of the 2015 TSS BP guideline, several clinical studies have addressed (1) whether a stricter BP target would be more effective for stroke prevention, (2) whether the older population requires a different BP goal for stroke prevention, or (3) the effect of different stroke etiologies, particularly large-artery atherosclerosis ...

The 2020 Taiwan Stroke Society guidelines for blood pressure control at the acute stage of ischemic stroke
J Formos Med Assoc. 2022 Aug 27:S0929-6646(22)00318-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jfma.2022.08.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 2020 Taiwan Stroke Society (TSS) guidelines for blood pressure (BP) control related to ischemic stroke update the 2015 TSS BP guidelines. The early management of acute ischemic stroke has evolved rapidly in the previous two decades. Since the publication of the previous version of the TSS BP guidelines, many studies have addressed BP management in ischemic stroke. Particularly, several successful endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) trials published in 2015 led to a new era of acute treatment for ischemic st...

The Mortality and the Risk of Aspiration Pneumonia Related with Dysphagia in Stroke Patients
Background: Dysphagia may result in poor outcomes in stroke patients due to aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition. Goal: The aim of the study was to investigate aspiration pneumonia and the mortality rate in stroke patients with dysphagia in Taiwan. Methods: We selected 1220 stroke patients, divided them into dysphagia and nondysphagia groups, and matched them according to age; covariates and comediations from 2000 to 2005 were identified from the NHIRD 2000 database. The date of the diagnosed stroke for each patient was defined as the index date.

Nephrotic Syndrome is Associated with Increased Risk of Ischemic Stroke
Background: To determine if the nephrotic syndrome (NS) is an independent risk factor of ischemic stroke. Methods: This is a retrospective nationwide cohort study through an analysis of the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. To evaluate the risk of stroke, the corresponding controls were selected at a 4:1 ratio in the number of subjects, and they were matched with the study group in age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and index date. Results: From a total of 16,245 surveyed subjects, ischemic stroke occurred in 1235 (7.6%) and hemorrhagic stroke in 129 (.74%) of them.

Risk of New-onset Stroke in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Chronic Kidney Disease on Sodium-glucose Co-transporter-2 Inhibitor Users
This study aimed to examine the association between the use of SGLT2 inhibitors and NOS risk in patients with T2D and CKD. We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study using data from the Taiwan Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database for the years 2004 to 2019. The primary outcome was the risk of incident stroke, which was estimated using hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used multiple Cox regression modeling to analyze the association between SGLT2 inhibitor use and the risk of stroke in patients with T2D and CKD. In a cohort of 113,710 patients with T2D and CKD who were u...

Renal dysfunction increases the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke
This study investigated risks of short-term (1 and 3 months) and long-term (1-year) recurrent stroke associated with glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke After Idarucizumab Reversal of Dabigatran Effect: Analysis of the Cases From Taiwan
Background: Asians with atrial fibrillation carry a higher risk of ischemic stroke than non-Asians even under treatment of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants. The purpose of the study was to observe the feasibility of intravenous thrombolytic therapy after administering a reversal agent, idarucizumab, in dabigatran-treated patients with acute ischemic stroke in Taiwan. Methods: Dabigatran-treated patients with acute ischemic stroke who received intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) after idarucizumab reversal were enrolled in the retrospective nationwide study.
