Trends in incidence of ischaemic stroke in people with and without diabetes in Ireland 2005–2015
Authors' conclusion
Despite decreases in incidence of ischaemic stroke and associated in-hospital mortality, there remains a twofold increased risk of ischaemic stroke and mortality in people with diabetes. Therefore, priority must be given to management of risk factors for ischaemic stroke in people with diabetes as well as continued development of targeted stroke prevention strategies.
