Popis: Introduction: Tobacco use is a known risk factor for stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between e-cigarette smoking and stroke is largely unknown. Hypothesis: This study aims to assess the effect of e-cigarettes among people who have had a history of stroke. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was performed using the NHANES database from 2015 to 2018 in the US population. We identified participants 18 or older with a history of stroke and their smoking habits (e-cigarette, traditional, and dual smoking). The chi-square test, unpaired t-test, and multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association of e-cigarette consumption among the stroke population. Results: Out of a total of 266,058 respondents, 79,825 were smokers [E-cigarette: 7,756 (9.72%); Traditional: 48,625(60.91%), Dual smokers: 23,444 (29.37%)] Overall prevalence of stroke was 5.41% (n=4194) amongst various types of smokers. Amongst females with stroke, the prevalence of e-cigarette use was higher compared to traditional smoking. (36.36% vs 33.91%; p Conclusion: Although stroke was more prevalent in traditional smokers, e-cigarette smokers had early-onset and higher odds of stroke compared to traditional smokers. More prospective studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects and safety of e-cigarettes to mitigate the risk of cardio and cerebrovascular disorders.
