What is Trends of risk profile among middle-aged adults hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke in United States 2006–2017 about?

Background: Recent studies reported increasing trends in hospitalization of stroke patients aged 35-64 years. Aim: To examine changes in risk factor profiles among patients aged 35-64 years hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke between 2006 and 2017 in the United States. Methods: We used data from the National Inpatient Sample of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project from 2006 through 2017. Principal ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM codes were used to identify acute ischemic stroke hospitalizations, and secondary codes were used to identify the presence of four major stroke risk factors: hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, and tobacco use. We used the relative percent change to assess the changes in the prevalence of risk profile between 2006-2007 and 2016-2017 and linear regression models to obtain the p values for the overall trends across six time periods. Results: Approximately 1.5 million acute ischemic stroke hospitalizations occurred during 2006-2017. The prevalence of having all four risk factors increased from 4.1% in 2006-2007 to 9.1% in 2016-2017 (relative percent change 122.0%, p < 0.001 for trend), prevalence of any three risk factors increased from 24.5% to 33.8% (rela
