The largest proportion of the total association of endometriosis with the risk for stroke was attributed to hysterectomy/oophorectomy and hormone therapy.
Neuroimaging performed less often among ischemic stroke patients who are female, 80 years of age or older, Black, or rural.
Factors associated with poor functional outcomes included age older than 60 years, diabetes mellitus, increased NIHSS, LVO.
Rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage lower with tenecteplase than the current standard medication for thrombolysis, alteplase.
Lowest hazard ratio for incident stroke, dementia seen for 2 to 3 cups of coffee, 3 to 5 cups of tea, combined intake of 4 to 6 cups/day.
