Abstract

Background: The risk of late recurrence after acute ischemic stroke remains high despite improvements in secondary stroke prevention strategies. The determination of late stroke recurrence rate and factors associated with to late stroke recurrence is still limited. Objectives: Determine the cumulative stroke recurrence rate at 1 year and  factors independently associated with to the risk of late recurrence after acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Prospective, observational cohort study. Using Kaplan-Meier estimation and Cox regression model to determine the cumulative stroke recurrence rate and factors associated with the risk of late recurrence after acute ischemic stroke. Results: In 2 years, we collected 520 patients with acute ischemic stroke and followed up for 1 year. The cumulative stroke recurrence rate at 1 year was 21.2%. Factors independently associated with recurrent stroke include education level, history of stroke/TIA, history of myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, cardioembolism and use statin drug. Conclusions: The cumulative stroke recurrence rate at 1 year was 21.2%. Factors independently associated with recurrent stroke were education level, history of stroke/TIA, history of myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, cardioembolism and use statin drug.
