Why the study?
Does a history of first stroke in young adults (18-49 years) increase long-term mortality compared to the general population?
Does a history of first stroke in young adults (18-49 years) increase long-term mortality compared to the general population?
Young adults who survive a first stroke have an elevated long-term mortality risk up to 15 years later compared to the general population.
May warrant extended surveillance in young stroke survivors; leaves open whether interventions can mitigate this excess risk.
Among young adults aged 18 to 49 years in the Netherlands who were 30-day survivors of first stroke, mortality risk compared with the general population remained elevated up to 15 years later.
