“…Hypertension was identified as a risk factor of stroke recurrence. Our study had found a high frequency of hypertension among recurrent stroke patients (91%), in line with the study of El-Gohary (90.2%) [ 21 ] and Yalcin (89%) [ 26 ], Kocaman (88%) [ 27 ], Morsy (100%) [ 28 ] and Cámara (80%) [ 29 ] but lower frequency was observed in the study of Leo (75%) [ 22 ] and Stahmeyer (69%) [ 17 ]. Some others authors in Scotland [ 25 ] and Thailand [ 30 ] demonstrated that hypertension was not identified as a risk factor of stroke recurrence.…”

“…The mean age of the patients with recurrent stroke was 66.5 ± 11.49 years was similar than in studies from Cameron (62 years) [ 11 ] and Saudi Arabia (67.70 ± 2 years) [ 21 ] but lower than in a study from Suisse, a western country (77 years) [ 22 ]. Stroke occurred in young age in Africa than in Europe due to the long expectancy in Western countries.…”

“…This figure was not observed in our study (4.5%). The majority of recurrent stroke were ischemic (82%), in the same proportion than in the study of Stahmeyer (81%) [ 17 ] and El-Gohary [ 21 ] in Saudi Arabia (83.93%). Previous stroke was ischemic in 61.4%, in lower frequency than in the study of Leo (90%).…”

Introduction studies on stroke recurrence are rare in sub-Sahara Africa. The aim to this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors for recurrent stroke in two University Teaching Hospital in Burkina Faso. Methods this prospective cross-sectional study was carried on 266 stroke patients admitted in two hospitals in the city of Ouagadougou from September 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018. Patients with stroke recurrence (ischemic or hemorrhagic) were included. Results of 266 acute stroke patients included, 44 (16.4%) had recurrent stroke. The mean age of patients was 66.5 ± 11.49 years with male predominance. Hypertension was the most vascular risk factors (81.8%). Previous stroke was ischemic in 61.4%, hemorrhagic in 22.7% and unknown in 15.9% of cases. Poor compliance (< 60%) was determined in patients taking antiagregant (43.6%) and statins (50%). At admission, the most neurological disorders was motor deficit (100%), aphasia (84.1%), and deglutition disorders (15.9%). CT scan showed ischemic in 82% and hemorrhagic stroke in 18% of cases. With the analysis of second stroke, recurrent stroke after intracerebral hemorrhage was hemorrhagic in 77.8% and ischemic in 22.2%. Recurrent stroke after ischemic stroke was ischemic in 100%. Conclusion stroke recurrence is common in our context. Hypertension was the most common vascular risk factor in recurrent stroke. Poor compliance was determined in patients taking antiagregant agents and statins in previous stroke.

İnme, belirli bir serebrovasküler olayı içeren, iskemi veya kanama bulgularının klinik, radyolojik veya patolojik olarak gösterilmesidir. Tekrarlayan inme; inme başlangıcından 24 saat sonra farklı bir vasküler bölgede meydana gelen inme veya ilk inmeden 21 gün sonra aynı bölgede meydana gelen inme olarak tanımlanmıştır. 1 Tüm dünyada inme, morbidite ve mortalitenin en önde gelen nedenlerinden biridir. 2 İnmeden sağ kurtulan hastaların yaklaşık yarısı, ilk olaydan son-raki birkaç gün, hafta veya yıl içinde yüksek tekrarlayan inme riski altındadır ve nüks, en sık ilk hafta içinde meydana gelir. 3 Tekrarlayan inme, hastanede kalış süresinin uzamasına, fonksiyonel sonucun kötüleşmesine ve mortalitenin artmasına neden olur. İnme alt tipi ve geçmiş tıbbi inme öyküsü gibi klinik faktörlerin, tekrarlayan inme ile ilişkili olduğu bildirilmiştir. 4,5 Tekrarlayan inme, fiziksel olarak aktivasyonun artırılması, sağlıklı

Purpose Stroke is a significant cause of disability worldwide and is considered a disease caused by long-term exposure to lifestyle-related risk factors. These risk factors influence the first event of stroke and recurrent stroke events, which carry more significant risks for more severe disabilities. This study specifically compared the risk factors and neurological outcome of patients with recurrent ischemic stroke to those who had just experienced their first stroke among patients admitted to the Hospital. Patients and methods We observed and analyzed 300 patients’ data who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This retrospective observational study was conducted on consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to the top referral hospital, West Java, Indonesia. The data displayed are epidemiological characteristics, NIHSS score at admission and discharge, and the type and number of risk factors. Data were then analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results Most patients had more than one risk factor with hypertension as the most frequent (268 subjects or 89.3%). In patients who experienced ischemic stroke for the first time, the average National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was lower (6.52 ± 3.55), and the alteration of NIHSS score was higher (1.22 ± 2.26) than those with recurrent stroke (6.96 ± 3.55) for NIHSS score and 1.21 ± 1.73 for alteration of NIHSS score). We processed the data with statistical analysis and showed a positive correlation between age (P < 0.05) and the number of risk factors (P < 0.001) in the recurrent ischemic stroke group. Conclusions Age and the number of risk factors correlate with recurrent ischemic strokes.
