A new study from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, highlights the risk of perioperative stroke in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The research emphasizes that while the incidence of perioperative stroke is low, the absolute number of patients affected is significant. The study also identifies traditional stroke risk factors, such as older age, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation, as well as previous stroke, as strong predictors of perioperative stroke. The researchers recommend that clinicians involved in perioperative care should be aware of these risk factors and prevention strategies to improve patient outcomes. [Extracted from the article] |
