Abstract EN
The main aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors of ischemic stroke among diabetic patients registered in the Saudi National Diabetes Registry (SNDR) database.
A cross-sectional sample of 62,681 diabetic patients aged ≥25 years was used to calculate ischemic stroke prevalence and its risk factors.
Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the roles of different risk factors.
The prevalence of ischemic stroke was 4.42% and was higher in the older age group with longer diabetes duration.
Poor glycemic control and the presence of chronic diabetes complications were associated with a high risk of ischemic stroke.
History of smoking and type 2 diabetes were more frequent among stroke patients.
Obesity significantly decreased the risk for ischemic stroke.
Regression analysis for ischemic stroke risk factors proved that age ≥45 years, male gender, hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD), diabetes duration ≥10 years, insulin use, and hyperlipidemia were significant independent risk factors for ischemic stroke.
We conclude that ischemic stroke is prevalent among diabetic individuals, particularly among those with type 2 diabetes.
Good glycemic, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia control, in addition to smoking cessation, are the cornerstones to achieve a significant reduction in ischemic stroke risk.
