Takeaway
In patients with a first-time ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage, risk of recurrence remained high after 10 years, with marked differences between certain patient subgroups.
Why this matters?
There are limited epidemiological data available on recurrent stroke, despite the number of stroke survivors at risk of recurrence increasing.
These long-term data from a large cohort of patients with stroke highlight potential risk factors for stroke recurrence.
