Implication

Does not support eGFR-guided stroke prevention changes; extends observational links to cerebrovascular risk but remains hypothesis-generating.

Structured PICO

Population

455 patients who underwent carotid ultrasonography in a single hospital, including 311 patients with symptomatic ischaemic stroke and 144 patients without symptomatic ischaemic stroke. Mean age 68.5 years.

Outcome

Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), rate of internal carotid artery stenosis, maximal plaque size, and symptomatic ischaemic stroke

Chronic kidney disease and lower eGFR are independently associated with increased carotid atherosclerosis and symptomatic ischaemic stroke.
