Cardiac Abnormalities in Stroke Prevention and Risk of Recurrence

Official title: Cardiac Abnormalities in Stroke Prevention and Risk of Recurrence (CASPR): a Multi-center Observational Cohort Study

Brief Summary

This is a multi-center retrospective analysis of consecutive adult patients with cryptogenic stroke patients following a comprehensive workup for the underlying stroke etiology. Patients will be eligible for inclusion if the index stroke event occurred between 1/1/2016 and 06/30/2022.

Conditions

  • Cryptogenic Stroke

Primary Outcome Measures

  • Prevalence of potential embolic sources (through study completion, an average of 2 years)
    Epidemiological estimates of prevalence of various potential embolic sources in the cryptogenic stroke population will be calculated across the cohort
  • The odds of recurrent stroke, major bleeding (according to the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis), and/or death will be estimated across the cohort, with annualized event rates also calculated (At any point during follow-up over a minimum of 90 days after stroke (average of 2 years))
    . This outcome will be evaluated across each subgroup of potential embolic source (e.g., valvular lesions present vs. absent, nonstenotic carotid plaque present or absent). Adjusted estimates of event probability will be calculated between patients treated with various antithrombotic types (or class, e.g. anticoagulant vs. antiplatelet) using propensity score matching according to propensity of antithrombotic use
  • Number of patients treated with antiplatelet, anticoagulant, or combination antithrombotic therapy (through study completion, an average of 2 years)
    Following the index cryptogenic stroke, the outcome of specific antithrombotic treatment will be compared between patient groups (antiplatelet, anticoagulant, combination antithrombotic)
