Benefit of urban greenness on patients after an ischaemic stroke: mortality or recurrence? A registry-based cohort study
Key Points
The research aims to explore the relationship between urban greenness and outcomes in ischaemic stroke patients.
Registry-based cohort study design
Assessment of urban greenness levels
Monitoring post-stroke recurrence
Analysis of mortality rates and recurrence patterns
Increased greenness correlates with reduced recurrence of ischaemic stroke
Findings suggest potential for urban planning to enhance patient outcomes
Indicates that improved green spaces may lower mortality rates in urban settings
Abstract
This study highlighted a beneficial influence of greenness on post-stroke recurrence in an urban area. These results indicate that urban planning policy could impact secondary prevention.
