“…In one case, the exposure data were collected during face‐to‐face single‐blinded interviews, which could result in recall bias. However, recall bias is unlikely in this situation because salient life events, such as bereavement, are largely immune to this, and it is negligible within 6 months . All data regarding outcome events, that is, stroke, were based on ICD codes from discharge diagnoses or radiological tests.…”

Several studies have suggested that psychological stress may increase the risk of stroke. However, this link remains a controversial issue because of conflicting findings. Bereavement, the loss of a close relative, is considered a severely stressful life event. Increased risk of stroke could thus be expected after bereavement if stress plays a causal role. We aimed to evaluate the association between bereavement and stroke by performing a systematic review of the existing literature. The literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. A search in Medline and Embase identified eligible studies, which were reviewed by two researchers independently according to specific inclusion criteria. We included six studies: five cohort studies and one case-crossover study. Five studies found that loss of a first-degree relative was associated with a 1.1- to 2.4-fold higher risk of stroke. However, one study found a statistically significant overall risk only for women. Five studies evaluated the risk of stroke according to time since the loss; one study found no association, two studies indicated short-term effect, one study indicated long-term effect, and one study indicated both short-term and long-term effect. Three studies stratified their analysis by sex; two found higher association in bereaved women than men. Our systematic review suggests that bereavement-related stress is associated with a higher risk of stroke. As relatively few studies were identified, new studies are needed to verify this association. These should aim to quantify the risk, describe the effect of time since bereavement, and identify risk-modifying factors.

“…A limitation of this study is the retrospective nature of its assessment methods. While validity of retrospective reports on childhood experiences has been a focus of several debates [38][39][40][41][42][43], retrospective recall has been shown to correspond well with collateral reports and available archival data [44][45][46][47].…”

“…Der Gesamtdatensatz enthält N = 2 900 065 Versicherte. Sekundärdaten sind für unsere Fragestellungen besonders gut geeignet, weil weder Erinnerungsfehler [23] noch die Krankheitsschwere der Befragten [24] die Genauigkeit der Daten beeinflussen. Auch die Zusammensetzung der Untersuchungsgruppe ist weder von der Bereitschaft der Therapeuten [10,25,26] noch von der Bereitschaft der Befragten abhängig, an einer Studie teilzunehmen.…”
