Trajectory Groups of 24-Hour Systolic Blood Pressure After Acute Ischemic Stroke and Recurrent Vascular Events

8,376 patients with acute ischemic stroke from a prospective multicenter registry, admitted within 24 hours of symptom onset and having ≥5 systolic blood pressure measurements during the first 24 hours of hospitalization.

Exposure to different 24-hour systolic blood pressure trajectories (low, rapidly stabilized, acutely elevated, persistently high)
