Key result
Recurrent stroke independently predicted impaired health-related quality of life at 3 months after TIA or minor ischemic stroke (adjusted OR 2.10; 95% CI 1.06-4.13).
Cohort (n=332)
Odds Ratio: 2.1 (95% CI 1.06–4.13)
Impairment in health-related quality of life is common (35.8%) at 3 months after minor ischemic stroke and TIA, driven by age, initial stroke severity, and recurrent stroke.

Hypothesis-generating for recurrent stroke prevention to preserve quality of life after TIA; prospective trials needed before adoption.
Sangha et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in TIA and minor ischemic stroke (n=332). Recurrent stroke vs. No recurrent stroke was evaluated on Impaired HRQOL at 3 months (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.06-4.13). Recurrent stroke independently predicted impaired health-related quality of life at 3 months after TIA or minor ischemic stroke (adjusted OR 2.10; 95% CI 1.06-4.13).
