ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Long-term mortality in ischemic stroke patients with concomitant COPD has been largely unexplored. This study aimed to compare long-term all-cause mortality in ischemic stroke patients with and without COPD.METHODS:
This was a retrospective cohort study of ischemic stroke patients with and without COPD in the Geisinger Neuroscience Ischemic Stroke database to examine all-cause mortality up to 3 years using Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox proportional hazards model.RESULTS:
Of the 6,589 ischemic stroke patients included in this study, 5,525 (83.9%) did not have COPD (group A). Group B (n=1,006) consisted of patients with COPD diagnosis by ICD-9/10-CM codes. COPD patients in Group C (n=233) were diagnosed by spirometry, and in Group D (n=175) by both ICD-9/10-CM codes and spirometry confirmation. The survival probabilities at three years in Group B, C, and D were significantly lower than in Group A. Group B (HR=1.262, 95% CI 1.122-1.42, p<0.001) and group C (HR=1.251, 95% CI 1.01-1.55, p=0.041) had significantly lower hazard of mortality compared to group A. There was no significant difference in survival between COPD subtypes of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Patients in Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2 stage had an increased mortality hazard compared to the GOLD 1 stage.CONCLUSIONS:
While ischemic stroke patients with preexisting COPD have worse long-term survival than those without COPD, the results largely depended on the definition of COPD used. These results suggest that ischemic stroke patients with COPD need more personalized medical care to decrease long-term mortality.Palabras clave
