Abstract

Background: Recurrent ischemic stroke remains a challenge in spite of the recent advances in secondary stroke prevention. Information regarding risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke is limited. So we conducted this research. Objective: Clinical characteristics of recurrent ischemic stroke and identify the association between some independent risk factors and stroke recurrence. Methods: Cross – sectional study in January 2022 to August 2023 and recruited 245 patients at neurology department of An Giang Central General Hospital. Result: The mean age of the paticipants was 69±13 years old, and 149 (60,8%) of the 245 patients were male. The first and second stroke recurrence rates were 75,1% and 24,9%. Recurrent ischemic stroke had a statistically significant association with: antiplatelet therapy, statin therapy, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion, high LDL-C. Conclusion: Age, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion, high LDL-C were independently associated with increased risk of stroke recurrence.
