Diabetes as a risk factor for stroke. A population perspective

Diabetologia
B Stegmayr, K Asplund

Abstract

Stroke incidence, case fatality and mortality in diabetic patients were compared to non-diabetic subjects in a 35-74-year-old population in northern Sweden (target population 241,000). During an 8-year period, 1,544 stroke events in diabetic patients and 4,826 events in non-diabetic subjects were recorded. The crude incidence of stroke was 1,000 per 100,000 in the diabetic men vs 247 in the non-diabetic men (relative risk 4.1; 95% confidence interval 3.2-5.2). Among diabetic women, the crude incidence was 757 per 100,000 and 152 in non-diabetic women (relative risk 5.8; 95% confidence interval 3.7-6.9). The 28-day case fatality among men was similar in the diabetic and non-diabetic stroke patients (18.6 vs 17.1%; p = 0.311), but significantly higher in diabetic women compared with non-diabetic women (22.2 vs 17.9%; p = 0.02). When compared with the non-diabetic population, the overall mortality from stroke in the diabetic population (first and recurrent) was 4.4-times higher in male and 5.1-times higher in the female patients. Hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure or myocardial infarction were all significantly more common in diabetic than in non-diabetic stroke patients. The population attributable risk, a crude est...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
