Rheumatic Disease Frequency in Hospitilized Acute Stroke Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Rheumatic Diseases and Treatment - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Rheumatic diseases (RD) have increased risk for stroke. We examined the records of acute stroke patients for concomitant diseases. Two of 178 patients had gout, no other RD was detected. Considering the result of our study and current evidence in the literature, we suggest that patients with gout should be monitored closely for the risk of stroke and the clinician should be aware of higher risk of stroke in these patients.
