    Abstract: Whether imaging parameters would independently predict stroke recurrence in low-risk minor ischemic stroke (MIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) according to traditional score system (such as ABCD 2 score, which was termed on the basis of the initials of the five factors: age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration, diabetes) remains unclear. We sought to evaluate the association between imaging parameters and 1-year stroke recurrence in patients with TIA or MIS in different risk stratum stratified by ABCD 2 score. Methods: We included patients with TIA and MIS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤3) with complete baseline vessel and brain imaging data from the Third China National Stroke Registry III. Patients were categorized into different risk groups based on ABCD 2 score (low risk, 0–3; moderate risk, 4–5; and high risk, 6–7). The primary outcome was stroke recurrence within 1 year. Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to assess whether imaging parameters (large artery stenosis, infarction number) were independently associated with stroke recurrence. Results: Of the 7140 patients included, 584 patients experienced stroke recurrence within 1 year. According to the ABCD 2 score, large artery stenosis was associated with higher stroke recurrence in both low-risk (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.746 [95% CI, 1.200–2.540]) and moderate-risk group (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.326 [95% CI, 1.042–1.687] ) but not in the high-risk group ( P 〉 0.05). Patients with multiple acute infarctions or single acute infarction had a higher risk of recurrent stroke than those with no infarction in both low- and moderate-risk groups, but not in the high-risk group. Conclusions: Large artery stenosis and infarction number were independent predictors of 1-year stroke recurrence in low-moderate risk but not in high-risk patients with TIA or MIS stratified by ABCD 2 score. This finding emphasizes the importance of early brain and vascular imaging evaluation for risk stratification in patients with TIA or MIS.

    Abstract: It is unclear whether patients with different stroke/transient ischemic attack etiologies benefit differently from gene-directed dual antiplatelet therapy. This study explored the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin in transient ischemic attack or minor stroke with different causes in the CHANCE-2 trial (Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events-II). METHODS: This was a prespecified analysis of the CHANCE-2 trial, which enrolled 6412 patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack who carried CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles. Patients with centralized evaluation of TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) classification of large-artery atherosclerosis, small-vessel occlusion, and stroke of undetermined cause were included. The primary efficacy outcome was new stroke, and the primary safety outcome was severe or moderate bleeding, both within 90 days. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the interaction of TOAST classification with the effects of dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin. RESULTS: A total of 6336 patients were included in this study. In patients administered ticagrelor-aspirin and clopidogrel-aspirin, respectively, stroke recurred in 85 (9.8%) and 88 (10.7%) patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (hazard ratio, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.63–1.18]; P =0.34); 32 (3.6%) and 61 (7.0%) patients with small-vessel occlusion (hazard ratio, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.33–0.79]; P =0.002); and 68 (4.8%) and 87 (5.9%) patients with stroke of undetermined cause (hazard ratio, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.58–1.10]; P =0.17), with P =0.08 for the treatment×cause subtype interaction effect. There were no significant differences in severe or moderate bleeding events in patients with different cause and different treatment. CONCLUSIONS: In this prespecified analysis of the CHANCE-2 trial, the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin in preventing new stroke were consistent in patients with different causes. The influence of stroke cause on benefit of gene-guided antiplatelet therapy should be explored by further trials. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT04078737.

    Abstract: Objective: To explore the role of WMH in progression of CSVD in an urban community in China over a period of 7 years, and to investigate associations between WMH volume (baseline & progression) and cognitive impairment. Methods: CSVD markers and neuropsychological tests at baseline and follow-up of 191 participants of the Shanghai Aging Study (SAS) were assessed. WMH volume were assessed by automatic segmentation based on U-net model. Lacunes, cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and enlarged perivascular spaces (ePVS) were rated manually. SVD score was rated as the total burden of CSVD markers. We performed multivariate linear regression and binominal logistic regression. We plotted progression of markers by baseline WMH volume in tertile. Results: Participants with higher baseline WMH volume developed more progression of WMH volume, increased risk of incident lacunes, incident CMBs, and ePVS progression. Mean change of WMH volume over 7 years was 4.27mL (0.62mL/y) for all participants, 3.21mL for participants with 1st tertile WMH volume at baseline, 4.19mL for those with 2nd tertile WMH, and 5.43mL for those with 3rd tertile WMH. Incident lacunes and incident CMBs were predominantly seen in participants with 2nd and 3rd tertile WMH. WMH (baseline & progression) were associated with decline of executive function. Conclusions: WMH play a pivotal role in progression of cerebral small vessel disease and are associated with decline of executive function in a Chinese urban community study over a period of 7 years.

    Abstract: Background and Purpose: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are associated with recurrent stroke, dementia and mortality in the general population. Hypertension (blood pressure over 140/90 mmHg) was thought as a crucial risk factor of CMBs in the general population. However, the cutoff for diagnosis of hypertension was lowered to blood pressure over 130/80 mmHg in the 2017 American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines. Whether the new definition of hypertension remains a potent risk factor of CMBs is questionable. We aimed to analyze the relationship between the new definition of hypertension and incident CMBs in a 7-year longitudinal community study. Methods: This study is part of the Shanghai Aging Study (SAS). 159 participants without stroke or dementia (mean age, 67.7 years) underwent repeated clinical examinations and cerebral MRI at baseline (2009-2011) and follow-up (2016-2018) with a median interval of 6.9 years. CMBs at baseline and follow-up were evaluated on T2*-GRE and SWAN sequence of MRI. We classified baseline blood pressure into four categories: normal BP, elevated systolic blood pressure, stage 1 hypertension and stage 2 hypertension according to the new criteria. We assessed the association of blood pressure categories with incident CMBs by generalized linear models. Results: Participants with incident CMBs had higher baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) than those without incident CMBs. The difference was significant in SBP (P=0.024), and marginally significant in PP (P=0.057). Both stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension were associated with a higher risk of incident CMBs (IRR=2.77, P=0.028; IRR=3.04, P=0.011, respectively). Conclusions: In this 7-year longitudinal study, participants with incident CMBs had higher SBP and PP at baseline. Stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension defined by this new criterion were associated with incident CMBs.

    Abstract: The underlying mechanisms of stroke-obesity paradox are still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the contribution of insulin resistance to the association between body mass index and stroke outcomes. Methods— Patients with ischemic stroke without history of diabetes mellitus in the Abnormal Glucose Regulation in Patients With Acute Stroke Across-China registry were included. Overweight or obese was defined as body mass index ≥23, and the median of homeostasis model assessment–insulin resistance index was chosen as cutoff to define insulin resistance. Cox or logistic regression model was used to assess the interaction between body mass index and homeostasis model assessment–insulin resistance on 1-year prognosis (all-cause mortality and poor functional outcome defined as modified Rankin Scale score 3–6). Results— Of 1227 study participants, the median homeostasis model assessment–insulin resistance was 1.9 (interquartile range, 1.1–3.1) and 863 (70.3%) patients were classified as overweight or obese. Among insulin-resistant patients, overweight/obese patients experienced one-half of the risk of death after stroke than their low/normal weight counterparts (9.42% versus 17.69%, unadjusted hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.31–0.82), while among insulin-sensitive ones, no significant difference of mortality risk was found (7.58% versus 6.91%, 1.07; 0.57–1.99). Similar trends were observed for poor functional outcome. Results were similar after adjustments for confounders. There were significant interactions between body mass index and homeostasis model assessment–insulin resistance on the risks of mortality ( P =0.045) and poor functional outcome ( P =0.049). Conclusions— We observed the obesity paradox for mortality and functional outcome in insulin-resistant patients but did not find the obesity paradox in insulin-sensitive patients. Insulin resistance may be one of the mechanisms underlying the obesity paradox of the outcome in patients with ischemic stroke.
