Visual field impairment predicts recurrent stroke after acute posterior circulation stroke and transient ischemic attack
2018-02-01
A total of 326 patients were eligible for a VFI evaluation within 1 week of stroke onset. One-year follow-up data were obtained after VB stroke and other vascular events. All predictors were determined using Cox regression models.
VFI is an independent predictor of recurrent VB stroke and TIA.
The overall incidence of recurrent VB stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) was 29% (n = 92). After multivariate adjustment, severe and moderate VFI were predictors of recurrent VB stroke and TIA.
