Abstract
INTRODUCTION The recovery of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) will increase the incidence of perioperative pneumonia (POP). However, there is limited research on POP in elderly patients with hip fractures complicated by CVD. Therefore, our research focuses on the following two issues: (1) What are the clinical features of elderly patients with hip fractures combined with CVD? (2) What are the predictive factors for the occurrence of POP in such patients? HYPOTHESIS Male, femoral neck fracture and hypoalbuminemia can be predictive factors for the development of POP after hip fracture in CVD patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a nested case-control study that included patients aged 65 to 105 years with CVD who had a hip fracture between January 2021 and January 2023. According to the occurrence of POP, they were divided into case group and control group. Collecting data includes demographic information, clinical data, and surgical information. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to select variables. The constructed predictive model was transformed into a nomogram. Predictive performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS We ultimately included 714 patients, 69.3% female, with a median age of 80 years. Asymptomatic cerebral infarction (ACI) is the most common CVD (55.7%). More patients developed intertrochanteric fractures than femoral neck fractures (57.1 vs. 42.9%). In total, 606 patients (84.9%) underwent surgery. The most common perioperative complications were anemia (76.9%) and hypoalbuminemia (71.8%). POP (20.0%) was more common preoperatively (89.5%). Factors such as fracture type, surgical wait time, implant used for surgery, and anesthesia type did not differ between the presence or absence of postoperative pneumonia. 143 patients with POP served as the case group. Five hundred and seventy one patients did not develop POP and served as the control group. The predictors of POP were male (OR 1.699,95%CI 1.150-2.511, p<0.05), femoral neck fracture (OR 2.182,95%CI 1.491-3.192, p<0.05), and hypoalbuminemia (OR 3.062, 95%CI 1.833-5.116, p<0.05). This model has good discrimination, calibration, and clinical practicality. DISCUSSION In this study, we constructed a clinical prediction model for the occurrence of POP in CVD combined with hip fracture in the elderly, with risk factors including gender, fracture type and perioperative hypoproteinemia. Therefore, we can take effective preventive measures against the occurrence of POP in patients with these factors in our clinical work. LEVEL OF PROOF IV; nested case-control study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the association between sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) among older adults in South Korea. METHODS Data from 38,426 patients in the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Senior Cohort from 2002 to 2019 were collected. The risk of CCVD includes both stroke and acute myocardial infarction. Propensity score matching (1:1) was used to identify pairs of individuals with and without SSNHL (n = 19,213 for cases and controls). Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the associations between variables. RESULTS Patients with SSNHL had a higher risk of CCVD (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-1.24) compared to those without. The risk of CCVD was higher among those who experienced a stroke than those who did not (HR = 1.17 95% CI = 1.10-1.25). Compared to their matched controls, patients with SSNHL were 1.69 times (HR = 1.69 CI = 1.46-1.94) more likely to have CCVD during the first 12 months of the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Older patients with SSNHL are at an increased risk of CCVD. Hence, a more attentive approach featuring aggressive monitoring of patients with SSNHL is required to lessen their risk of CCVD. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 134:2372-2376, 2024.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article reviews the scientific evidence on the relationship between periodontitis and neurological disease, and particularly cerebrovascular disease and dementia. We also issue a series of recommendations regarding the prevention and management of periodontitis and these neurological diseases at dental clinics and neurology units. DEVELOPMENT In response to a series of questions proposed by the SEPA-SEN working group, a literature search was performed, with no restrictions on study design, to identify the most relevant articles on the association between periodontitis and cerebrovascular disease and dementia from the perspectives of epidemiology, treatment, and the biological mechanisms involved in these associations. CONCLUSIONS Periodontitis increases the risk of ischaemic stroke and Alzheimer dementia. Recurrent bacterial infections and increased low-grade systemic inflammation seem to be possible biological mechanisms underlying this association. Limited evidence suggests that various oral health interventions can reduce the future risk of cerebrovascular disease and dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to explore the associations of outdoor light at night (LAN) and air pollution with the risk of cerebrovascular disease (CeVD). METHODS We included a total of 28 302 participants enrolled in Ningbo, China from 2015 to 2018. Outdoor LAN and air pollution were assessed by Satellite-derived images and land-use regression models. CeVD cases were confirmed by medical records and death certificates and further subdivided into ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% CIs. RESULTS A total of 1278 CeVD cases (including 777 ischemic and 133 hemorrhagic stroke cases) were identified during 127 877 person-years of follow-up. In the single-exposure models, the hazard ratios for CeVD were 1.17 (95% CI, 1.06-1.29) for outdoor LAN, 1.25 (1.12-1.39) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm, 1.14 (1.06-1.22) for particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm, and 1.21 (1.06-1.38) for NO2 in every interquartile range increase. The results were similar for ischemic stroke, whereas no association was observed for hemorrhagic stroke. In the multiple-exposure models, the associations of outdoor LAN and PM with CeVD persisted but not for ischemic stroke. Furthermore, no interaction was observed between outdoor LAN and air pollution. CONCLUSIONS Levels of exposure to outdoor LAN and air pollution were positively associated with the risk of CeVD. Furthermore, the detrimental effects of outdoor LAN and air pollution might be mutually independent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Guidelines no longer recommend low-fat diets and currently recommend more plant-based diets to reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. Furthermore, these guidelines have consistently recommended salt-reduced diets. This article describes current self-reported use and time-trends in the self-reported use of low-fat, low-salt and vegetarian diets in ASCVD patients and examines patient characteristics associated with each diet. METHODS AND RESULTS 9005 patients with ASCVD included between 1996 and 2019 in the UCC-SMART cohort were studied. The prevalence of self-reported diets was assessed and multi-variable logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of each diet. Between 1996-1997 and 2018-2019, low-fat diets declined from 22.4 % to 3.8 %, and low-salt diets from 14.7 % to 4.6 %. The prevalence of vegetarian diets increased from 1.1 % in 1996-1997 to 2.3 % in 2018-2019. Patients with cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) and peripheral artery disease or an abdominal aortic aneurysm (PAD/AAA) were less likely to report a low-salt diet than coronary artery disease (CAD) patients (OR 0.62 [95%CI 0.49-0.77] and 0.55 [95%CI 0.41-0.72]). CONCLUSION In the period 1996 to 2019 amongst patients with ASCVD, the prevalence of self-reported low-fat diets was low and decreased in line with changes in recommendations in major guidelines. The prevalence of self-reported vegetarian diets was low but increased in line with societal and guideline changes. The prevalence of self-reported low-salt diets was low, especially in CeVD and PAD/AAA patients compared to CAD patients, and decreased over time. Renewed action is needed to promote low-salt diets in ASCVD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a syndrome of recurrent thunderclap headaches and reversible vasoconstriction of the cerebral arteries on neuroimaging within 3 months of onset. Initial non-contrast computed tomography (CT) can reveal abnormalities such as ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can be present in patients with RCVS and may delay diagnosis. AIMS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of imaging abnormalities on initial non-contrast CT head in adult patients with RCVS. DATA SOURCES & ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA We searched electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Register of Clinical Trials from inception to August 2, 2022. Eligible studies included articles reporting the prevalence of non-contrast CT abnormalities on initial neuroimaging in patients with RCVS, aged 18 and older. Case series, observational studies and clinical trials were included. Data was extracted directly from included papers using a standardized data charting form. RESULTS The search yielded 722 titles with duplicates removed. Twenty studies that included 379 patients with RCVS met inclusion criteria. We classified non-contrast CT abnormalities as either ischemic stroke, ICH, or SAH. We pooled prevalence data using a random effects model with the inverse-variance weighted method. The most common imaging finding was SAH with a pooled prevalence of 24% (95% CI:17%-33%), followed by ICH at 14% (95% CI:8%-22%), and ischemic stroke at 10% (95% CI:7%-14%). The pooled prevalence of any of these imaging abnormalities on initial non-contrast CT was 31% (95% CI:23%-40%). Risk of bias was moderate to very-high-risk for case-series and low-risk for observational studies. CONCLUSION Our review demonstrates that one-third of patients with RCVS will have an abnormality on initial non-contrast CT head, including either an ischemic stroke, ICH, or SAH. These findings highlight the diagnostic challenges of RCVS imaging and contribute to our understanding of this disease.

Abstract
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an important but frequently overlooked risk factor for hypertension (HTN). The prevalence of hypertension is high in patients with OSA, but the differences in clinical symptoms and comorbidities between patients with OSA with hypertension and those with normal blood pressure have not been fully defined. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed OSA patients diagnosed for the first time in Lihuili Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University from 2016 to 2020. Patients were divided into an OSA group with hypertension and an OSA group without hypertension. The sociodemographic information, clinical symptoms, comorbidities, and polysomnography results of the two groups were compared. The independent risk factors associated with hypertension in patients with OSA were explored. Results A total of 1108 patients with OSA initially diagnosed were included in the study, including 387 with hypertension and 721 without. Compared with OSA patients without hypertension, OSA patients with hypertension were older; had a higher body mass index (BMI) and Epworth sleepiness score (ESS); a higher incidence of nocturia; and a higher proportion of diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Multivariate analysis showed age (odds ratio [OR]:1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.04-1.08), BMI (OR:1.17, 95% CI:1.11-1.23), ESS score (OR:0.97, 95%CI: 0.94-1.00) and nocturia symptoms (OR:1.64, 95% CI:1.19-2.27) was independently associated with hypertension in OSA patients, and comorbid diabetes (OR: 3.86, 95% CI: 2.31-6.45), coronary heart disease (OR: 1.90, 95% CI:1.15-3.16), and ischemic stroke (OR: 3.69,95% CI:1.31-10.40) was independently associated with hypertension in OSA patients. Conclusion Compared to OSA patients with normal blood pressure, OSA patients with hypertension had more significant daytime sleepiness, more frequent nocturnal urination, and a higher risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to assess the risk factors and clinical characteristics of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in elderly hemodialysis patients. METHODS Elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) at Deqing County People's Hospital in Zhejiang, China, from May 2020 to May 2023 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into two groups depending on the occurrence of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events: the case group and the control group. RESULTS A total of 106 patients were enrolled in this study. Among them, 49 patients experienced cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events, resulting in an incidence rate of 46.23%. According to whether cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events occurred, 57 patients were assigned to the control group, and 49 patients were assigned to the case group. Comparing the basic information and clinical indicators of the two groups, significant differences were observed in patients with hypertensive nephropathy and diabetic nephropathy (P < .05). There were also significant differences in dialysis duration, smoking history, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, uric acid, blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (TG), C-reactive protein (CRP), and PTH (parathyroid hormone) levels and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), between the two groups (P < .05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that longer dialysis duration, higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures, elevated uric acid, TC, TG, LDL-C, PTH, and blood glucose levels, smoking history, elevated PLR, and CRP were independent risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The ROC curve showed that these risk factors predicted cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients. CONCLUSION Patients with underlying diseases such as hypertensive or diabetic nephropathy are more likely to experience cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Longer dialysis duration, higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures, elevated uric acid, TC, TG, LDL-C, PTH and blood glucose levels, and boosted inflammatory reaction are risk factors for these events among elderly HD patients. The purpose of this study is to provide practical guidelines for clinical treatment. Comprehensive measures such as active intervention of risk factors, rational drug use and regular examination should be taken to improve the overall health level to the greatest extent for elderly patients with high-risk HD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Characterise the circumstances associated with death during admission of adults with Down syndrome (DS) and to identify predictors of mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS Observational study based on data on all emergent admissions of adults with DS to hospitals of the Spanish National Health System between 1997 and 2014. We analysed epidemiological and clinical variables. RESULTS We analysed admissions of 11,594 adults with DS, mean age 47 years. 1715 patients died (15%), being the highest mortality (35%) in individuals aged 50-59. A past medical history of cerebrovascular disease (aOR 2.95 [2.30-3.77]) or cancer (aOR 2.79 [2.07-3.75]), gross aspiration's admission (aOR 2.59 [2.20-3.04]), immobility (aOR 2.31 [1.46-3-62]), and readmission within 30 days (aOR 2.43 [2.06-2.86]) were identified as predictors of mortality. CONCLUSIONS Adults with DS have a high in-hospital mortality rate. The main predictors of death were cerebrovascular disease, cancer, early readmission, and conditions commonly associated with advanced dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies suggest that the gut microbiota closely linked to cerebrovascular diseases, such as Intracranial aneurysm (IA) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Nevertheless, the confirmation of a definitive causal connection between gut microbiota, IA, and aSAH is still pending. The aim of our research is to explore the potential bidirectional causality among them. METHODS This bidirectional Mendelian Randomization (MR) study used single nucleotide polymorphisms linked to gut microbiota, IA, and aSAH from Genome-Wide Association Studies. The Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW) method was used to explore causality. To assess the robustness of the result, sensitivity analyses were further performed, including weighted-median method, MR-Egger regression, Maximum-likelihood method, MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier test and leave-one-out analysis. RESULTS In the IVW method, the family Porphyromonadaceae (odds ratio [OR] 0.63; 95% CI 0.47-0.85; P: 0.002) and genus Bilophila (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.50-0.86; P: 0.002) showed a significant negative association with the risk of IA. Similarly, the genus Bilophila (OR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.50-0.93; P: 0.017) and genus Ruminococcus1 (OR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.30-0.78; P: 0.003) were linked to reduced risk of aSAH. The sensitivity analysis yielded similar outcomes in the IVW approach. Through the adoption of reverse MR analysis, a potential correlation between IA and decreased abundance of genus Ruminococcus1 was identified (OR 0.94; 95% CI 0.90-0.99; P 0.024). CONCLUSIONS This MR analysis investigated the causal associations between gut microbiota, IA, and aSAH risks. The findings expanded current knowledge of the microbiota-gut-brain axis and offered novel perspectives on preventing and managing these conditions.

Abstract
Background Adverse psychosocial factors play an important role in cardio-cerebral vascular disease (CCVD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the cumulative burden of loneliness on the risk of CCVD in the Chinese older adult. Methods A total of 6,181 Chinese older adult over the age of 62 in the monitoring survey of the fourth Sample Survey of the Aged Population in Urban and Rural China (SSAPUR) were included in this study. The loneliness cumulative burden (scored by cumulative degree) was weighted by the loneliness score for two consecutive years (2017-2018) and divided into low- and high-burden groups. The outcome was defined as the incidence of CCVD 1 year later (2018-2019). A multivariate logistic regression model was used to examine the relationship between the cumulative burden of loneliness and the new onset of CCVD. Results Among participants, 18.9% had a higher cumulative burden of loneliness, and 11.5% had a CCVD incidence within 1 year. After multivariate adjustment, the risk of developing CCVD in the high-burden group was approximately 37% higher than that in the low-burden group (OR 1.373, 95%CI 1.096-1.721; p = 0.006). Similar results were obtained when calculating the burden based on cumulative time. Longitudinal change in loneliness was not significantly associated with an increased risk of CCVD. A higher cumulative burden of loneliness may predict a higher risk of developing CCVD in older adult individuals aged 62-72 years or in those with diabetes. Conclusion The cumulative burden of loneliness can be used to assess the risk of new-onset CCVD in the older adult in the short term.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the associations between air pollutants and the risk of admission and multiple readmission events for cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS A total of 285 009 participants free of CVD at baseline from the UK Biobank were included in this analysis. Four major cardiovascular admission events were identified during the follow-up: chronic ischaemic heart disease (CIHD), cerebrovascular disease, atrial fibrillation and heart failure. We used Prentice, Williams and Peterson-Total Time model to examine the association between ambient air pollution and first admission, as well as multiple readmissions for these CVDs. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12 years, 17 176 (6.03%) participants were hospitalised with CVDs, and 6203 (36.11%) patients with CVD had subsequent readmission events for CVDs. We observed significant associations between air pollution and both first admission and readmission for CVDs, with generally stronger associations on readmission for cardiovascular events. For example, the adjusted HRs for the first admission and subsequent readmission for cerebrovascular disease were 1.130 (95% CI 1.070 to 1.194) and 1.270 (95% CI 1.137 to 1.418) for each IQR increase of particulate matter with a diameter ≤2.5 µm. The corresponding HRs for CIHD were 1.060 (95% CI 1.008 to 1.114) and 1.120 (95% CI 1.070 to 1.171). Sex stratified analyses showed that the associations were generally more pronounced among females than males. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence that ambient air pollutants might play an important role in both first admission and readmission for cardiovascular events. In addition, patients with pre-existing CVDs may be more vulnerable to air pollution compared with healthy population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the associations of pre-existing maternal cardiovascular disease (CVD) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) in offspring. METHODS This population-based cohort study included singletons live-born without major malformations in Sweden (n = 2 699 675) and British Columbia (BC), Canada (n = 887 582) during 1990-2019, with follow-up from age 1 year until the outcome, death, emigration or December 2020, whichever came first. The primary exposure was defined as a composite CVD diagnosed prior to conception: cerebrovascular disease, arrhythmia, heart failure, valvular and congenital heart diseases. The incidences of ADHD, ASD and ID, comparing offspring of mothers with versus without CVD, were calculated as adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs). These results were compared with models using paternal CVD as negative control exposure. RESULTS Compared with offspring of mothers without CVD, offspring of mothers with CVD had 1.15-fold higher aHRs of ADHD [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-1.20] and ASD (95% CI 1.07-1.22). No association was found between maternal CVD and ID. Stratification by maternal CVD subtypes showed increased hazards of ADHD for maternal heart failure (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.02-1.61), cerebrovascular disease (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.08-1.32), congenital heart disease (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.08-1.27), arrhythmia (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.08-1.19) and valvular heart disease (HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.00-1.24). Increased hazards of ASD were observed for maternal cerebrovascular disease (HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.04-1.46), congenital heart disease (HR 1.17, 95% CI 1.01-1.33) and arrythmia (HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.01-1.21). Paternal CVD did not show associations with ADHD, ASD or ID, except for cerebrovascular disease which showed associations with ADHD and ASD. CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort study, pre-existing maternal CVD was associated with increased risk of ADHD and ASD in offspring.

Abstract
AIM People with schizophrenia are at a greater risk of poor physical health than the general population. This study investigated the annual incidence of physical illnesses after a new schizophrenia diagnosis, which has rarely been investigated in the literature. METHODS The authors collected data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from January 1, 1996, to December 31, 2013, and enrolled 1910 patients with newly diagnosed schizophrenia cases aged 10-40 years and 7640 age- and sex-matched controls from the general population. They estimated the 1-year prevalence and annual incidence rate ratio (IRR) of specified physical diseases across 3 years in the schizophrenia group compared with the controls. RESULTS Several physical illnesses were prevalent within 1 year of schizophrenia diagnosis. Regarding incident physical illnesses, patients had a moderate to strong risk of numerous physical illnesses (IRR > 3.0: ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer; IRR 1.8-3.0: other forms of heart disease, vein and lymphatic diseases, pneumonia, chronic hepatic disease, and ulcer disease) within the first year after schizophrenia diagnosis. The IRRs of most physical illnesses declined over 3 years, except for that of cerebrovascular disease, which significantly increased (IRR > 3.0) over the 3 years after schizophrenia diagnosis. Cerebrovascular disease had a significant incidence risk (IRR > 3) persistently across the 3 years. CONCLUSION Various comorbid physical illnesses can occur in the early stages of schizophrenia. Clinicians should consider these vulnerabilities to physical illnesses during the evaluation of patients with newly diagnosed schizophrenia by attempting to prevent, screen for, and manage them.

Abstract
This observational research analyzed public hospital data from the Thailand Ministry of Public Health website to investigate gender differences in four categories of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) affecting hospitalized senior Thai populations for 12 years. This study aimed to determine the cumulative effects and analyze the odds ratio (OR) according to ICD-10 cause categories for the data from 2010 to 2021, accounting for 1,327,093 cases in 2010 and 2,275,936 cases in 2021. The findings revealed statistically significant gender differences in four categories of NCDs. Men were found to be more likely than women to have two types of NCDs, as measured by the OR (95%CI): cerebrovascular diseases (OR 1.34-1.47, 95%CI 1.32-1.48), and ischaemic heart disease (OR 1.24-1.63, 95%CI 1.23-1.64). Conversely, diabetes mellitus (OR 0.64-0.84, 95%CI 0.63-0.85) and hypertensive disorders (OR 0.82-0.95, 95%CI 0.81-0.97) were discovered to have a lower likelihood of ratios related in men compared to women. However, the trend of all four NCDs in men has significantly increased every year: cerebrovascular diseases = 0.0093 year(s) + 1.3391, (R2 0.82, p-value 0.001); diabetes mellitus = 0.0171 year(s) + 0.6143, (R2 0.97, p-value 0.001); hypertension = 0.0125 year(s) + 0.8091, (R2 0.96, p-value 0.001); and ischaemic heart disease = 0.0345 year(s) + 1.1884, (R2 0.99, p-value 0.001).Gender, a crucial biological factor, contributes to variations in the prevalence of illness. As such, it is essential to prioritize the disease risk occurrence and preventive care for men and women separately, with a focus on implementing more detailed screening and detection strategies, as well as tailored interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are associated with cognitive decline and progression to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. It remains unclear if sex differences influence WMH progression or the relationship between WMH and cognition. METHODS Linear mixed models examined the relationship between risk factors, WMHs, and cognition in males and females. RESULTS Males exhibited increased WMH progression in occipital, but lower progression in frontal, total, and deep than females. For males, history of hypertension was the strongest contributor, while in females, the vascular composite was the strongest contributor to WMH burden. WMH burden was more strongly associated with decreases in global cognition, executive functioning, memory, and functional activities in females than males. DISCUSSION Controlling vascular risk factors may reduce WMH in both males and females. For males, targeting hypertension may be most important to reduce WMHs. The results have implications for therapies/interventions targeting cerebrovascular pathology and subsequent cognitive decline. HIGHLIGHTS Hypertension is the main vascular risk factor associated with WMH in males A combination of vascular risk factors contributes to WMH burden in females Only small WMH burden differences were observed between sexes Females' cognition was more negatively impacted by WMH burden than males Females with WMHs may have less resilience to future pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea (mmOSA) is highly prevalent in the general population. However, studies on its association with incident cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular disease (CBVD) are limited. We examined the association between mild-to-moderate OSA and incident cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular (CBVD) in a general population sample, and whether age modifies this association. METHODS A total of 1173 adults from the Penn State Adult Cohort (20-88 years) without CBVD or severe OSA at baseline were followed-up after 9.2 (±4.1) years. Incident CBVD was defined based on a self-report of a physician diagnosis or treatment for heart disease and/or stroke. Logistic regression examined the association of mild-to-moderate OSA (AHI 5-29.9) with incident CBVD and the combined effect of mmOSA and MetS on incident CBVD after adjusting for multiple confounders. RESULTS Age significantly modified the association between mmOSA with incident CBVD (p-interaction = 0.04). Mild-to-moderate OSA was significantly associated with incident CBVD in adults aged <60 years (OR = 1.74, 95%CI = 1.06-2.88, p = 0.029), but not in adults aged ≥60 years (OR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.39-1.27, p = 0.247). Even mild OSA (AHI 5-14.9) carried a significant risk for incident CBDV in adults aged <60 years (OR = 1.86, 95%CI = 1.05-3.28, p = 0.032). An additive effect was found between mmOSA and MetS with incident CBVD in those aged <65 years (OR = 3.84, 95%CI = 1.95-7.56, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The risk of incident CBVD is increased in young and middle-aged but not older adults with mmOSA, which may affect the way we currently diagnose and treat this highly prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify and select age-related diseases (ARDs) in Korea, which is about to have a super-aged society, and to elucidate patterns in their incidence rates. METHODS The National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort, comprising 1 million health insurance and medical benefit beneficiaries in Korea from 2002 to 2019, was utilized. We selected 14 diseases with high disease burden and prevalence among Koreans from the 92 diseases defined in the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study as ARDs. The annual incidence rate represented the number of patients newly diagnosed with an ARD each year from 2006 to 2019, excluding those with a history of ARD diagnosis from 2002 to 2005. The incidence rate by age was categorized into 10-year units based on age as of 2019. The number of patients with ARDs in each age group was used as the numerator, and the incidence rate for each age group was calculated with the age group as the denominator. RESULTS Regarding the annual incidence rates of ARDs from 2006 to 2019, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and ischemic heart disease decreased annually, whereas dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, cataracts, hearing loss, and Parkinson's disease showed a significant increase. Hypertension, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and age-related macular degeneration initially displayed a gradual decrease in incidence but exhibited a tendency to increase after 2015. Concerning age-specific incidence rates of ARDs, two types of curves emerged. The first type, characterized by an exponential increase with age, was exemplified by congestive heart failure. The second type, marked by an exponential increase peaking between ages 60 and 80, followed by stability or decrease, was observed in 13 ARDs, excluding congestive heart failure. However, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hearing loss in men belonged to the first type. CONCLUSIONS From an epidemiological perspective, there are similar characteristics in age-specific ARDs that increase with age, reaching a peak followed by a plateau or decrease in Koreans.

Abstract
Dementia is a multifactorial disorder that is likely influenced by both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular pathologies. We evaluated domain-specific cognitive and neuropsychiatric dysfunction using a two-neuroimaging biomarker construct (beta-amyloid [Aβ] and cerebrovascular disease [CeVD]). We analyzed data from 216 memory clinic participants (mean age = 75.9 ± 6.9; 56.5% female) with neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric assessments, 3T-MRI, and Aβ-PET imaging. Structural equation modeling showed that the largest Aβ (A+) effect was on memory (B = -1.50) and apathy (B = 0.26), whereas CeVD effects were largest on language (B = -1.62) and hyperactivity (B = 0.32). Group comparisons showed that the A+C+ group had greater memory impairment (B = -1.55), hyperactivity (B = 0.79), and apathy (B = 0.74) compared to A-C+; and greater language impairment (B = -1.26) compared to A+C-. These potentially additive effects of Aβ and CeVD burden underline the importance of early detection and treatment of Aβ alongside optimal control of vascular risk factors as a potential strategy in preventing cognitive and neurobehavioral impairment.

Abstract
Weather conditions influence the incidence of cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have investigated the association between weather temperature and humidity and cerebrovascular disease hospitalizations in a super-aging society. We included 606,807 consecutive patients with cerebrovascular disease admitted to Japanese acute-care hospitals between 2015 and 2019. The primary outcome was the number of cerebrovascular disease hospitalizations per day. Multilevel mixed-effects linear regression models were used to estimate the association of mean temperature and humidity, 1 day before hospital admission, with cerebrovascular disease hospitalizations, after adjusting for air pollution, hospital, and patient demographics. Lower mean temperatures and humidity < 70% or humidity ≧ 70% are associated with an increased incidence of cerebrovascular disease hospitalization (coefficient, - 1.442 [- 1.473 to - 1.411] per °C, p < 0.001, coefficient, - 0.084 [- 0.112 to - 0.056] per%, p < 0.001, and coefficient, 0.136 [0.103 to 0.168] per %, p < 0.001, respectively). Lower mean temperatures and extremely lower or higher humidity are associated with an increased incidence of cerebrovascular disease hospitalization in a super-aging society.

Abstract
There is a lack of studies comparing the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease between angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) of different half-lives. We aimed to compare the risks of myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), and cerebrovascular disease with the use of valsartan, losartan, irbesartan, and telmisartan with different half-lives in a national claim-based retrospective cohort of patients aged ≥ 40 years with hypertension. To establish a cohort exposed to valsartan, losartan, irbesartan, or telmisartan, we performed propensity score (PS) matching and used an as-treated approach to evaluate exposure. The Cox regression model was employed to calculate hazard ratios, which were based on the incidence rate for each newly occurring event of MI, heart failure, or cerebrovascular disease. These hazard ratios were calculated to compare the risk of MI, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease associated with valsartan, losartan, and irbesartan in comparison to telmisartan. A PS-matched cohort of 148,229 patients was established for each of valsartan, losartan, irbesartan, or telmisartan. The matched cohort analysis showed that the adjusted hazard ratio (aHRs, 95% confidence interval) for MI was higher for valsartan use (1.39, 1.33-1.45) and losartan use (1.10, 1.05-1.15) but lower for irbesartan use (0.90, 0.86-0.94) compared with the reference (telmisartan). The aHRs for HF were not different among these ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers). The aHR for cerebrovascular disease was lower for valsartan use (0.85, 0.83-0.87) and losartan use (0.80, 0.78-0.82) but higher for irbesartan use (1.11, 1.09-1.13) compared with the reference. We found differences in the risk of MI and cerebrovascular disease with the use of different ARBs compared to telmisartan use. Valsartan, and losartan with a short half-life, which showed a higher risk of MI, had a lower risk of cerebrovascular disease. Conversely, irbesartan with a long half-life, which showed a lower risk of MI, had a higher risk of cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease(CVD) has become a major disease burden affecting people's health in China. Blood vessels are very important for human health and are the "sentinel" for the development of many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The key to effectively preventing fatal, disabling heart, brain and peripheral vascular events lies in controlling traditional and non-traditional risk factors for vascular health from the source, and early assessment and intervention of early vascular lesions. Since 2004, China government promoted the early detection technology of vascular lesions and vascular medicine, and proposed the Beijing Vascular Health Stratification (BVHS) to provide suggestions for the examination, evaluation and management of risk factors, and to provide new ideas for lifelong maintenance of vascular health. This review mainly introduces the establishment and development of the clinical discipline of "vascular medicine" in the past 20 years in China, introduces the indicators for detecting vascular function and structure and the predictive value of vascular events, and carries out intelligent and digital management of vascular health throughout the life cycle of individualized prevention, treatment and rehabilitation for people with different parts or degrees of lesions, effectively reducing the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the prospect of new technology in maintaining vascular health.

Abstract
AIM To examine the effect of nutritional guidance (NG) provided by a registered dietitian under the direction of a physician on the development of subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study used the JMDC claims database to explore patients aged 18 years or older who first met the diagnostic criteria for T2DM at a health checkup between January 2011 and January 2019. The last day of the observation period was set for 28 February, 2021. Exposure was defined as receiving NG within 180 days of diagnosis of T2DM. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular disease, and the secondary outcomes were each event, and time to event was compared. The propensity score weighting method was used for adjusting the distribution of confounding variables. Cox regression was conducted to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Overall, 31,378 patients met the eligibility criteria at an annual health checkup. 9.6% received NG (n = 3013). Patients who attended ≥ 1 NG after diagnosis had significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular composite (adjusted HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.58-0.97) and cerebrovascular disease (adjusted HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.47-0.90) during approximately 3.3 years of follow-up. In contrast, no difference was observed for CAD. CONCLUSIONS Receiving NG in early-stage diabetes may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events, especially cerebrovascular events.

Abstract
The effect of antipsoriatic therapy on cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) is not well described. Thus, we performed a population-based nested case-control study to investigate the effect of systemic antipsoriatic therapy on CCVD in psoriasis patients. Using nationwide cohort data from the Korean National Health Insurance Claims database, newly diagnosed psoriasis patients were identified. Among the enrolled participants, postenrollment development of CCVD events (ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and cerebral hemorrhage) was investigated. To evaluate the effect of systemic antipsoriatic therapy on CCVD risk, we calculated the proportion of the treatment period with systemic antipsoriatic therapy during the study period (PTP [%]: the sum of all systemic antipsoriatic therapy durations divided by total observation period). Among 251 813 participants, 6262 experienced CCVD events during the study period (CCVD group). Controls included 245 551 patients without CCVD history during the study period (non-CCVD group). The non-CCVD group had greater PTP than the CCVD group (CCVD 2.12 ± 7.92, non-CCVD 2.64 ± 9.64; P < 0.001). In multiple logistic regression analysis, PTP was inversely associated with the CCVD risk after adjusting for age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. A 10% increase in PTP reduced CCVD risk by 0.96 (95% confidence interval 0.93 to 0.99). Reduced CCVD risk was robust for both conventional antipsoriatic therapy and biologics. Our study found that systemic antipsoriatic therapy use was inversely associated with CCVD risk in psoriasis patients. These findings suggested that systemic antipsoriatic therapy could reduce CCVD development in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the co-existence of global small vessel disease (SVD) burdens and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathologies change hippocampal volume (HV) and cognitive function of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects. We obtained MRI images, cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers (Aβ1-42 and p-tau), and neuropsychological tests of 310 MCI subjects from ADNI. The global SVD score was assessed. We used linear regression and linear mixing effect to analyze the effects of global SVD burdens, AD pathologies, and their interactions (SVD*AD) on baseline and longitudinal HV and cognition respectively. We used simple mediation effect to analyze the influencing pathways. After adjusting for global SVD and SVD*AD, Aβ remained independently correlated with baseline and longitudinal HV (std β = 0.294, p = .007; std β = 0.292, p < .001), indicating that global SVD did not affect the correlation between Aβ and HV. Global SVD score was correlated with longitudinal but not baseline HV (std β = 0.470, p = .050), suggesting that global SVD may be more representative of long-term permanent impairment. Global SVD, AD pathologies, and SVD*AD were independently correlated with baseline and longitudinal cognitions, in which the association of Aβ (B = 0.005, 95% CI: 0.005; 0.024) and p-tau (B = -0.002, 95% CI: -0.004; -0.000) with cognition were mediated by HV, suggesting that HV is more likely to explain the progression caused by AD pathology than SVD. The co-existence of global SVD and AD pathologies did not affect the individual association of Aβ on HV; HV played a more important role in the influence of AD pathology on cognition than in SVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular diseases are associated with high incidence of health care-associated infections (HAIs) and poor prognosis in elderly patients. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of HAIs in elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS Patients admitted with cerebrovascular disease, aged ≥65 years, were included. The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed to determine the risk factors, infection type, distribution, and pathogenic characteristics of HAIs in the context of cerebrovascular diseases. RESULTS Out of 381 ICU inpatients monitored, 79 (20.73%) developed HAIs. Risk analysis revealed number of ventilator days as significant risk factors for HAIs in elderly patients with cerebrovascular diseases in the comprehensive ICU. In the HAI group, 56 patients (70.89%) had respiratory tract infection (RTI). Sixty-five patients (82.28%) were infected with Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), and 42 (53.16%) with multi-drug-resistant organism (MDRO). The length of hospitalization days, ventilator days, and overall hospitalization costs were higher in the HAI group than in the non-HAI group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between groups in the treatment outcome of patients. Patients with MDRO infection had longer duration and higher cost of hospitalization than those infected with non-MDRO (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the groups in the treatment outcome of patients. CONCLUSIONS HAIs occurred mostly due to RTI and GNB infection. The hospitalization cost and duration, as well as the length of ventilator days, were higher for cerebrovascular patients with HAIs than for non-HAIs patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increased maternal cardiocerebrovascular risk after a pregnancy complicated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, is well documented in the literature. Recent evidence has suggested a shorter timeframe for the development of these postnatal outcomes, which could have major clinical implications. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the risk of and time to onset of maternal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes after a pregnancy complicated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN This study included 2,227,711 women, without preexisting chronic hypertension, who delivered during the period 2008 to 2010: 37,043 (1.66%) were diagnosed with preeclampsia, 34,220 (1.54%) were diagnosed with gestational hypertension, and 2,156,448 had normotensive pregnancies. Hospitalizations for chronic hypertension, heart failure, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease were studied. A classical Cox regression was performed to estimate the average effect of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy over 10 years compared with normotensive pregnancy; moreover, an extended Cox regression was performed with a step function model to estimate the effect of the exposure variable in different time intervals: <1, 1 to 3, 3 to 5, and 5 to 10 years of follow-up. RESULTS The risk of chronic hypertension after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia was 18 times higher in the first year (adjusted hazard ratio, 18.531; 95% confidence interval, 16.520-20.787) to only 5 times higher at 5 to 10 years after birth (adjusted hazard ratio, 4.921; 95% confidence interval, 4.640-5.218). The corresponding risks of women with gestational hypertension were 12 times higher (adjusted hazard ratio, 11.727; 95% confidence interval, 10.257-13.409]) and 6 times higher (adjusted hazard ratio, 5.854; 95% confidence interval, 5.550-6.176), respectively. For other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes, there was also a significant effect with preeclampsia (heart failure: adjusted hazard ratio, 6.662 [95% confidence interval, 4.547-9.762]; coronary heart disease: adjusted hazard ratio, 3.083 [95% confidence interval, 1.626-5.844]; cerebrovascular disease: adjusted hazard ratio, 3.567 [95% confidence interval, 2.600-4.893]; peripheral arterial disease: adjusted hazard ratio, 4.802 [95% confidence interval, 2.072-11.132]) compared with gestational hypertension in the first year of follow-up. A dose-response effect was evident for the severity of preeclampsia with the averaged 10-year adjusted hazard ratios for developing chronic hypertension after early, preterm, and late preeclampsia being 10, 7, and 6 times higher, respectively. CONCLUSION The risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes were the highest in the first year after a birth complicated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. We found a significant relationship with both the severity of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the gestational age of onset suggesting a possible dose-response relationship for the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes. These findings call for an urgent focus on research into effective postnatal screening and cardiocerebrovascular risk prevention for women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still not clear that whether the expression levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) family are associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs) in genetic level. We explored the causal role of 12 members of MMPs in CCDs with mendelian randomization (MR) method to facilitate further exploring the underlying mechanisms. METHODS The relationship between MMPs and CCDs including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), atrial fibrillation (AF), and outstanding risk factors of type II diabetes were determined with the inverse variance-weighted (IVW) method. The sensitivity analyses including MR-Egger regression, weighted median estimation, and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier were utilized to test the robustness of the results generated from the MR method. RESULTS We found that a higher serum level of MMP-12 was related to a lower risk of ICH (OR = 0.8287, 95% CI: 0.7526-0.9125, p = 0.00013), but not hypertension, CHD, type II diabetes or AF. And our study also revealed that a higher serum level of MMP-8 could result in a lower risk of hypertension (OR = 0.9976, 95% CI: 0.9964-0.9988, p = 0.00012) and AF (OR = 0.9851, 95% CI: 0.9741-0.9963, p = 0.0092), but not ICH, CHD or type II diabetes. All other members of MMPs other than MMP-8 and MMP-12 showed no statistical association with CCDs according to this study. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the reliability of our results. CONCLUSIONS We provided statistical evidences for a potential causal relationship between MMP-12 and ICH, as well as MMP-8 and hypertension, while other MMPs showed weaker association with CCDs. The underlying mechanisms need to be established in the future.

Abstract
Pregnancy is a risk factor for cerebrovascular disease owing to pregnancy-related hormonal changes, a hypercoagulable state, maternal hemodynamic changes, and changes in the vascular wall. Cerebral hemorrhage and other cerebrovascular disorders account for 14% of all maternal deaths and represent the second most common cause of death after obstetric hemorrhage (38%). The timing of pregnancy-related cerebrovascular disorders. The 2008 Health and Labor Sciences Study on Pregnancy-Related Cerebrovascular Disorders (principal investigator Tomoaki Ikeda) was performed across 115 facilities between January and December 2006. The study included 184 cases of pregnancy-related cerebrovascular disorders; 39 cases of cerebral hemorrhage, 18 of subarachnoid hemorrhage, 25 of cerebral infarction, 5 of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and 2 cases of eclampsia and hypertensive encephalopathy. vascular disease, resulting in venous stasis, focal cerebral edema, and eventually hemorrhagic venous infarction. Ruptured cerebral aneurysms that lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage during pregnancy should be treated surgically on an emergency basis.

Abstract
Being the leading cause of death among both urban and rural residents in Hunan Province, China, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases hold a significant position in the region's public health landscape. Their prevalence and impact not only underscore the urgency of effective disease prevention and control but also provide crucial guidance for future initiatives. Consequently, the Hunan Province Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Health and Disease Report Summary (2020) hereinafter referred to as the "Annual Report", serves as an extensive and informative document. It meticulously examines the current status of these diseases, highlighting both the existing challenges and opportunities for prevention and control efforts in Hunan Province. The primary objective of this report is to furnish valuable insights and evidence that will empower and enrich future endeavors aimed at combatting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within the region. In 2017, the year of life expectancy lost due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Hunan Province remained higher than the national average. Additionally, the per capita life expectancy in 2019 (77.1 years) was slightly lower by 0.2 years compared with the national average (77.3 years). Alarmingly, the mortality rates associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were consistently ranking highest, indicating an upward trajectory. Moreover, the prevalence and mortality rates of conditions such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke, all encompassed within the domain of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, surpassed the national averages. Consequently, the economic burden attributable to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is on the rise. And under vertical comparison, in 2019, the life expectancy per capita in Hunan Province increased by 1.26 years compared with 2015. The incidence rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events decreased by 8.34% compared with 2017. A new model of hypertension medical and preventive integration has been established with the efforts of many experts in Hunan Province, and full coverage of standardised outpatient clinics for hypertension at the grassroots level has been realised. The rate of standardised management of patients with hypertension under management in Changsha County, a demonstration area, rose to 65.27%, and the incidence rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, the incidence rate of stroke, and the mortality rate due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events were reduced by 28.08%, 28.62%, and 25.00%, respectively. Hunan Province has made significant strides in the prevention and control of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in recent years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is considerable interest in the trending discrepancy between ischemic heart disease (IHD) and heart failure (HF) in vital statistics. Clinically, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke are closely associated with HF, but their contribution to HF as the underlying cause of death (UCD) is unclear.Methods and Results: In 1990 and 1992-1993, we enrolled a total of 140,420 residents of Japanese nationality (aged 40-69 years) from 11 public health center areas. We prospectively examined the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including AMI, sudden cardiac death within 1 h (SCD), and stroke, and analyzed the 14,375 participants without a history of CVD at baseline who died during the 20-year follow-up. A time-dependent Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios and the population attributable fraction (PAF) of AMI, AMI+SCD, stroke, and CVD for deaths due to HF, IHD, and cerebrovascular disease as the UCD, adjusted for individuals' lifestyles and comorbid conditions. The PAF of AMI for HF deaths was 2.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.7-2.9%), which increased to 12.0% (95% CI 11.6-12.2%) for AMI+SCD. The PAF of CVD-attributed HF deaths was estimated to be 17.6% (95% CI 15.9-18.9%). CONCLUSIONS HF as the UCD was partly explained by CVD. The data imply that most HF deaths reported in vital statistics may be associated with underlying causes other than CVD.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the associations of meeting intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) control goals with risk for incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among the adult hypertensive patients in China. Methods: We used data from adult hypertensive patients from the China Kadoorie Biobank. logistic regression models evaluated the influencing factors of meeting intensive and standard SBP control goals. Cox proportional hazard models evaluated the associations between meeting intensive vs. standard SBP control goals and risk for incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Results: A total of 3 628 hypertensive patients who reported continuous medication use were included in this study, of which 5.0% of the participants met the goals of intensive SBP control (≤130 mmHg). Participants with higher educational attainment (OR=2.36,95%CI: 1.32-4.04), healthier diet (OR=2.09,95%CI: 1.45-2.96), daily intake of fresh fruit (OR=1.67,95%CI: 1.17-2.36) and combination treatment (OR=1.82,95%CI: 1.03-3.09) were more likely to meet intensive SBP control goal after adjustment of age, sex and urban/rural areas. During an average follow-up of (10.0±3.7) years, 1 278 cases of composite cardiovascular outcome were recorded. This study did not find a statistical correlation between achieving the goal of enhanced SBP control and the occurrence of composite cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes (HR=0.89, 95%CI: 0.63-1.25). For major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, and ischemic stroke, we observed a trend of decrease in risk of outcomes with more intensive SBP control (trend test P<0.05). Conclusions: We observed decreased risk for MACE and cerebrovascular diseases with more intensive SBP control. However, there was no significant risk reduction for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases when meeting the intensive SBP control goal, compared to the standard SBP control goal.

Abstract
We report the first quantitative systematic review of cerebrovascular disease in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to provide occurrence rates and associated mortality. Through a comprehensive search of PubMed we identified 8 cohort studies, 5 case series, and 2 case reports of acute cerebrovascular disease in patients with confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis. Our first meta-analysis utilizing the identified publications focused on comorbid cerebrovascular disease in recovered and deceased patients with COVID-19. We performed 3 additional meta-analyses of proportions to produce point estimates of the mortality and incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease in COVID-19 patients. Patient's with COVID-19 who died were 12.6 times more likely to have a history of cerebrovascular disease. We estimated an occurrence rate of 2.6% (95% confidence interval, 1.2-5.4%) for acute cerebrovascular disease among consecutively admitted patients with COVID-19. While for those with severe COVID-19' we estimated an occurrence rate of 6.5% (95% confidence interval, 4.4-9.6%). Our analysis estimated a rate of 35.5% for in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients with concomitant acute cerebrovascular disease. This was consistent with a mortality rate of 34.0% which we obtained through an individual patient analysis of 47 patients derived from all available case reports and case series. COVID-19 patients with either acute or chronic cerebrovascular disease have a high mortality rate with higher occurrence of cerebrovascular disease in patients with severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Comorbid conditions commonly affect people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Population-based studies indicate that people with MS have an increased incidence of ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and psychiatric disorders as compared to people without MS. People with MS from underrepresented minority and immigrant groups have higher comorbidity burdens. Comorbidities exert effects throughout the disease course, from symptom onset through diagnosis to the end of life. At the individual level, comorbidity is associated with higher relapse rates, greater physical and cognitive impairments, lower health-related quality of life, and increased mortality. At the level of the health system and society, comorbidity is associated with increased health care utilization, costs and work impairment. A nascent literature suggests that MS affects outcomes from comorbidities. Comorbidity management needs to be integrated into MS care, and this would be facilitated by determining optimal models of care.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality globally. In particular, ischemic heart diseases (IHDs) and cerebrovascular diseases (CBVDs) represent the main drivers of CVD-related deaths. Many literature examples have assessed the association between CVD risk factors and urban greenness. Urban green (UG) may positively affect physical activity, reduce air and noise pollution, and mitigate the heat island effect, which are known risk factors for CVD morbidity. This systematic review aims to assess the effects of urban green spaces on CVD morbidity and mortality. Peer-reviewed research articles with a quantitative association between urban green exposure variables and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes were included. Meta-analyses were conducted for each outcome evaluated in at least three comparable studies. Most of the included studies' results highlighted an inverse correlation between exposure to UG and CVD outcomes. Gender differences were found in four studies, with a protective effect of UG only statistically significant in men. Three meta-analyses were performed, showing an overall protective effect of UG on CVD mortality (HR (95% CI) = 0.94 (0.91, 0.97)), IHD mortality (HR (95% CI) = 0.96 (0.93, 0.99)), and CBVD mortality (HR (95% CI) = 0.96 (0.94, 0.97)). The results of this systematic review suggest that exposure to UG may represent a protective factor for CVDs.

Abstract
Background Social frailty is one type of frailty. Physical frailty with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVD) have been studied a lot, but less research on social frailty. Objectives To study the prevalence, related risk factors and regional differences of social frailty with CCVD in Chinese older adults. Methods SSAPUR was a national cross-sectional survey. Participants aged 60 years or older were recruited in August 2015. Demographic data and information regarding family, health and medical conditions, living environment conditions, social participation, spiritual and cultural life, and health condition were obtained. Social frailty was assessed in five areas (HALFE Social Frailty Index) including inability to help others, limited social participation, loneliness, financial difficulty, and living alone. The prevalence of CCVD with social frailty, related risk factors and regional differences in CCVD with social frailty were studied. Results A total of 222,179 participants were enrolled. 28.4% of them had CCVD history. The prevalence of social frailty in the CCVD group was 16.03%. In CCVD participants, compared with the group without social frailty, there were significant differences in gender, age, urban-rural distribution, ethnicity, marital status, and education levels in the social frailty group. Significant differences were also found in physical exercise participation, health status, cataract, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hospitalization within 1 year, self-assessed health status, crutch or wheelchair usage, urinary and fecal incontinence, need for care from others, fall history, housing satisfaction, and self-assessed happiness in the social frailty group. Women with CCVD had a higher prevalence of social frailty than men. By age in CCVD with social frailty, the highest prevalence was found in participants 75-79 years old. The prevalence of CCVD was significant difference between social frailty in urban and rural group. The prevalence of social frailty with CCVD was significantly different in different regions. The highest prevalence was 20.4% in southwest area, and the lowest prevalence was 12.5% in northeast with area. Conclusion The prevalence of social frailty among the CCVD older adults is high. Factors such as gender, age, region, urban-rural residence, and the state of the disease may be associated with social frailty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the chronological changes in the clinical presentation and long-term prognosis of pediatric-onset moyamoya disease in our institute over 40 years. METHODS We evaluated 282 pediatric-onset (≤ 15 years old) moyamoya disease patients who visited our institute from 1981 to 2020 (divided into the former period, 1981-2000, and the latter period, 2001-2020). Differences in the clinical presentation and the long-term outcome were compared between the periods. Multivariate analysis was also performed to reveal the risk factors for poor long-term outcomes. RESULTS Compared to the former period, the total number of patients, the onset age and both the number of patients with family history and relatively older patients without symptoms or with headache were greater in the latter period (p < 0.05). The number of patients with poor long-term outcomes was significantly lower in the latter period (24.9% vs. 6.7%, p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that stroke onset, late cerebrovascular events and postoperative complications were independent risk factors for poor long-term outcomes (odds ratio = 31.4, 40.8 and 5.4, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Over the last 40 years, the number of pediatric moyamoya disease patients has increased, especially in relatively older patients with mild presentation and favorable long-term outcomes. In clinical studies, these chronological changes and the inclusion period of the participants need to be accounted for. Whether the increased diagnostic rate in the recent era has led to a decrease in late cerebrovascular events and favorable outcomes throughout life remains unknown and should be evaluated in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined medical records to determine health conditions associated with dementia at varied intervals prior to dementia diagnosis in participants from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). METHODS Data were available for 347 Alzheimer's disease (AD), 76 vascular dementia (VaD), and 811 control participants without dementia. Logistic regressions were performed associating International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) health codes with dementia status across all time points, at 5 and 1 year(s) prior to dementia diagnosis, and at the year of diagnosis, controlling for age, sex, and follow-up length of the medical record. RESULTS In AD, the earliest and most consistent associations across all time points included depression, erectile dysfunction, gait abnormalities, hearing loss, and nervous and musculoskeletal symptoms. Cardiomegaly, urinary incontinence, non-epithelial skin cancer, and pneumonia were not significant until 1 year before dementia diagnosis. In VaD, the earliest and most consistent associations across all time points included abnormal electrocardiogram (EKG), cardiac dysrhythmias, cerebrovascular disease, non-epithelial skin cancer, depression, and hearing loss. Atrial fibrillation, occlusion of cerebral arteries, essential tremor, and abnormal reflexes were not significant until 1 year before dementia diagnosis. INTERPRETATION These findings suggest that some health conditions are associated with future dementia beginning at least 5 years before dementia diagnosis and are consistently seen over time, while others only reach significance closer to the date of diagnosis. These results also show that there are both shared and distinctive health conditions associated with AD and VaD. These results reinforce the need for medical intervention and treatment to lessen the impact of health comorbidities in the aging population. ANN NEUROL 2023;93:805-818.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New treatments and guidelines in sickle cell disease (SCD) have improved the quality and lifespan of SCD patients. Over 90% of people with SCD will live into adulthood, and the majority will live past 50 years of age. However, data on comorbidities and treatments among SCD patients with and without cerebrovascular disease (CVD) are limited. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to describe the outcomes and preventive treatments used on SCD patients with and without CVD, based on a dataset of over 11,000 SCD patients. METHODS We identified SCD patients with and without CVD from the MarketScan administrative database using validated International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification codes from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2017. We summarized treatments received (iron chelation, blood transfusion, transcranial Doppler, and hydroxyurea) and tested for differences by CVD status using the t test for continuous variables and the χ2 for categorical variables. We also tested for differences among SCD, stratifying by age (<18 years vs. ≥18 years). RESULTS Of the 11,441 SCD patients, 833 (7.3%) had CVD. SCD patients with CVD were more likely to have diabetes mellitus (32.4% among those with CVD vs. 13.8% without CVD), congestive heart failure (18.3 vs. 3.4%), hypertension (58.6 vs. 24.7%), chronic kidney disease (17.9 vs. 4.9%), and coronary artery disease (21.3 vs. 4.0%). SCD patients with CVD were more likely to receive a blood transfusion (15.3 vs. 7.2%) and hydroxyurea (10.5 vs. 5.6%). Fewer than 20 patients with SCD were given iron chelation therapy, and none received transcranial Doppler ultrasound. Hydroxyurea was prescribed among a greater percentage of children (32.9%) than adults (15.9%). CONCLUSIONS There appears to be an underutilization overall of treatment options among SCD patients with CVD. Further research would confirm these trends and explore ways to increase utilization of standard treatments among SCD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is ample evidence that air pollution increases mortality risk, but most studies are based on modelled estimates of air pollution, while the subjective perception of air quality is scarcely assessed. We aimed to compare the effects of objective and subjective exposure to air pollution on cardiorespiratory mortality in Brussels, Belgium. METHODS Data consisted of the 2001 Belgian census linked to registry-based mortality data for the follow-up period 2001-2014. We included individuals aged >30 years of age residing in Brussels at baseline (2001). Air pollution exposure was assessed with objective (modelled annual mean concentrations of PM2.5 in micrograms per cubic metre, μg/m3) and subjective indicators (poor self-reported air quality perception in the census). We used Cox Proportional Hazard models with age as the underlying time scale to evaluate associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and respiratory disease mortality, and separately, ischaemic heart disease (IHD), cerebrovascular disease, and COPD excluding asthma mortality. We specified single- and two-exposure models and evaluated effect modification by neighbourhood unemployment rate. RESULTS 437,340 individuals were included at baseline. During follow-up (2001-2014), 22,821 (5%) individuals had died from CVDs and 8572 (2%) from respiratory diseases. In single-exposure models, PM2.5 was significantly associated with an increased risk in CVD and IHD mortality (e.g. for IHD, per 5 μg/m3 increase: Hazard Ratio, HR:1.22, 95%CI:1.08-1.37), and poor air quality perception with COPD excluding asthma mortality (HR:1.23, 95%CI:1.15-1.33). Associations remained significant in the two-exposure models, and additionally, perception was associated with respiratory disease mortality. Associations became gradually stronger with increasing neighbourhood unemployment rate [e.g. in the highest, Q3: PM2.5 and cerebrovascular disease mortality (HR:1.53, 95%CI:1.04-2.24)]. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that objective and subjective exposure to air pollution increased the risk of dying from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases respectively in Brussels. These results encourage policies reducing pollution load in Brussels whilst considering socio-economic inequalities.

Abstract
Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality during perioperative period. In this study, we looked for national trends in perioperative MACCE and its components as well as cancer types associated with high rates of perioperative MACCE during major cancer surgeries. This study was a retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample, 2005-2014. Hospitalizations for surgeries of prostate, bladder, esophagus, pancreas, lung, liver, colorectal, and breast among patients 40 years and greater were included in the analysis. MACCE was defined as a composite measure that included in-hospital all-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and ischemic stroke. A total of 2,854,810 hospitalizations for major surgeries were included in this study. Of these, 67,316 (2.4%) had perioperative MACCE. Trends of perioperative MACCE showed that it decreased significantly for AMI, death and any MACCE, while stroke did not significantly change during the study period. Logistic regression analysis for perioperative MACCE by cancer types showed that surgeries for esophagus, pancreas, lung, liver, and colorectal cancers had significantly greater odds for perioperative MACCE. The surgeries identified to have greater risks for MACCE in this study could be risk stratified for better informed decision-making and management.

Abstract
There are limited studies examining the association between PM2.5 exposure and incident cerebrovascular disease (CD) cases in China. In this study, daily counts of incident CD cases and daily PM2.5 concentrations were obtained in Yantai, Shandong Province, China from 2014 to 2019. We used a combination of the Poisson-distribution generalized linear model (GLM) and a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) to examine the association of short-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and incident cases of CD. The results revealed that for every 10 μg/m3 increment of PM2.5 would increase the incident CD cases by 0.216% (RR:1.00216, 95%CI:1.0016-1.0028) at lag4. The stratified analysis demonstrated that the females and residents aged 65 years or above presented higher short-term PM2.5-associated CD risks than the males and aged below 65 years. Targeted prevention strategies should be adopted to reduce the PM2.5-related CD burden, especially for the susceptible population in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the work of the Center for the Treatment of Cerebrovascular Pathology in Children and Adolescents, operating on the basis of the Morozov Children's City Clinical Hospital of the Moscow Health Department for the period 2018-2021 and to assess the peculiarities of organizing the provision of specialized care to children and adolescents with acute cerebrovascular accident (ACA). MATERIAL AND METHODS Annual reports of the Center for the period 2018-2021; included children and adolescents aged 1 month to 17 years 11 months 29 days, with new onset ischemic stroke (IS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS), cerebral venous thrombosis (sinus thrombosis), confirmed clinically and radiologically. RESULTS Statistical data on stroke and organization of care for children with this pathology in Moscow are presented. The incidence of IS in Moscow for the period 2018-2021 ranged from 1.6 to 2.5 per 100.000 children, HI - from 2.35 to 3.3 per 100.000, sinus thrombosis from 0.5 to 1.38 per 100.000. When assessing the main etiological factors of stroke in The Center for International Pediatric Stroke Research categories, we noted a prevalence of chronic head and neck diseases (20-37%) and chronic systemic conditions (conditions or diseases with known changes in coagulation or vascular structure, including connective tissue dysplasia, genetic, hematological, inflammatory or diseases of the immune system) (15-20%). In addition, data on reperfusion therapy carried out at the Center are presented. From 2018 (first thrombolysis was performed) to 2021, 7.3-14.7% of all patients with IS underwent thrombolysis. CONCLUSION The experience of functioning of the Center for the Treatment of Cerebrovascular Pathology in Children and Adolescents has shown that the creation of such centers in the regions of the Russian Federation is relevant, but requires taking into account the characteristics of the pediatric population when organizing their work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three major diseases in Japan, cancer, heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) are the leading causes of death in Japan. This study aimed to clarify the social burden of these diseases, including long-term care (LTC), and to predict future trends. METHODS The comprehensive cost of illness (C-COI), a modification of the cost of illness (COI), was used to estimate the social burden of the three major diseases in Japan. The C-COI can macroscopically estimate both direct and indirect costs, including the LTC. A new method for future projections of the C-COI was developed according to the method for future projections of the COI. All data sources were government statistics. RESULTS The C-COI of cancer, heart diseases, and CVD in 2017 amounted to 11.0 trillion JPY, 5.3 trillion JPY, and 6.5 trillion JPY, respectively. The projected future C-COI in 2029 was 10.3 trillion JPY, 5.3 trillion JPY, and 4.4 trillion JPY, respectively. In 2029, the LTC costs accounted for 4.4%, 12.8%, and 44.1% of the total C-COI, respectively. Informal care costs are projected to be approximately 1.7 times higher, assuming that all family caregivers will be replaced by professional caregivers in 2029. CONCLUSION Indirect costs for all three diseases were projected to decrease owing to aging of the patient. In contrast to the other two diseases, the LTC cost of CVD accounted for a large proportion of the burden. The burden of CVD is expected to decrease in the future, but informal care by older family caregivers is suggested to reach its limits. In the future, the focus of resource allocation should shift from medical care to LTC, especially support for family caregivers. A method of future projections for the social burden based on the C-COI was considered effective for identifying issues for healthcare policy in the context of the times.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the representation of risk factors and treatment adherence in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS A single-stage cross-sectional non-comparable study was conducted, which included 492 patients, of whom 133 had an ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (main group, MG), 344 had chronic cerebrovascular pathology (comparison group, CG). The representation of risk factors, the state of cognitive functions, the severity of anxiety and depression were evaluated. RESULTS MG respondents visit specialized specialists more often than CG (p<0.001), are more committed to taking antiplatelet agents (p<0.003), statins (p<0.005), antihypertensive drugs (p<0.005). Regular intake of antithrombotic drugs was associated with the history of ischemic stroke (r=0.483; p<0.01), type 2 diabetes (r=0.637; p<0.011), atrial fibrillation (r=0.481; p<0.001), living in a family (r=0.493; p<0.03). An inverse correlation was established between the systematic intake of antiplatelet drugs and the age of the respondents (r=-0.637; p<0.002), cognitive impairment (r=-0.433; p<0.05), the history of the gastrointestinal tract diseases (gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer) (r=-0.563; p<0.001). Irregular medication intake was observed in patients aged over 60 years compared with younger (17.3% and 6.4%, respectively, p=0.001), patients living in a family compared with single (85.6% and 65.1%, p=0.032). The history of ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction is associated with increased adherence to regular medication. CONCLUSION The study of risk factors and the assessment of treatment adherence can ensure the formation of an effective strategy for primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epilepsy is a common comorbidity of cerebrovascular disease and an increasing socioeconomic burden. OBJECTIVE We aimed to provide an updated comprehensive review on the state of the art about seizures and epilepsy in stroke, cerebral haemorrhage, and leukoaraiosis. METHODS We selected English-written articles on epilepsy, stroke, and small vessel disease up until December 2021. We reported the most recent data about epidemiology, pathophysiology, prognosis, and management for each disease. RESULTS The main predictors for both ES and PSE are the severity and extent of stroke, the presence of cortical involvement and hemorrhagic transformation, while PSE is also predicted by younger age at stroke onset. Few data exist on physiopathology and seizure semiology, and no randomized controlled trial has been performed to standardize the therapeutic approach to post-stroke epilepsy. CONCLUSION Some aspects of ES and PSE have been well explored, particularly epidemiology and risk factors. On the contrary, few data exist on physiopathology, and existing evidence is mainly based on studies on animal models. Little is also known about seizure semiology, which may also be difficult to interpret by non-epileptologists. Moreover, the therapeutic approach needs standardization as regards indications and the choice of specific ASMs. Future research may help to better elucidate these aspects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in young and middle-aged people have not yet been determined. We conducted a meta-analysis to find the risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in order to provide guidance for the prevention of diseases in the young and middle-aged population. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library from the establishment of the database to Mar 2022. We included case-control or cohort studies reporting risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in young and middle-aged adults. We excluded repeated publication, research without full text, incomplete information or inability to conduct data extraction and animal experiments, reviews and systematic reviews. STATA 15.1 was used to analyze the data. RESULTS The pooled results indicated that increased systolic blood pressure was significantly associated with increased risk of any stroke, ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Body Mass Index (BMI), current smoking, hypertension, and diabetes were significantly associated with increased risk of any stroke and ischemic stroke. Atrial fibrillation was only significantly associated with increased risk of any stroke. Increased total cholesterol was significantly associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, whereas increased triglycerides were significantly associated with a decreased risk of ischemic stroke. In addition, increased hypertension was also significantly associated with an increased risk of acute coronary syndrome. CONCLUSION Our pooled results show that BMI, current smoking, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol can be used as risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in young people, while triglycerides can be used as protective factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in young and middle-aged adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In terms of prevention, it is important to determine effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) when some workplace psychosocial resources are high while others are low. The aim of the study was to assess the prospective relationship between clustering of workplace psychosocial resources and risk of CVD among employees. METHODS We pooled data from three cohort studies of 135 669 employees (65% women, age 18-65 years and free of CVD) from Denmark, Finland and Sweden. Baseline horizontal resources (culture of collaboration and support from colleagues) and vertical resources (leadership quality and procedural justice) were measured using standard questionnaire items. Incident CVD, including coronary heart and cerebrovascular disease, was ascertained using linked electronic health records. We used latent class analysis to assess clustering (latent classes) of workplace psychosocial resources. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association between these clusters and risk of CVD, adjusting for demographic and employment-related factors and pre-existing physical and mental disorders. RESULTS We identified five clusters of workplace psychosocial resources from low on both vertical and horizontal resources (13%) to generally high resources (28%). High horizontal resources were combined with either intermediate [hazard ratio (HR) 0.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74-0.95] or high (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78-1.00) vertical resources were associated with lower risks of CVD compared to those with generally low resources. The association was most prominent for cerebrovascular disease (eg, general high resources: HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.67-0.96). CONCLUSIONS Individuals with high levels of workplace psychosocial resources across horizontal and vertical dimensions have a lower risk of CVD, particularly cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although secondary cardiovascular prevention is a focus among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD), the application of guideline-recommended therapy in T2D patients and isolated cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) remains unknown. METHODS In a US outpatient registry, T2D patients with established cardiovascular disease from 2014-2018 were categorized as: isolated CeVD, CeVD plus CAD or PAD, or isolated CAD/PAD. In each group, we determined the proportion with optimal secondary prevention (hemoglobin [Hb]A1C <8%, blood pressure <130/80 mm Hg, use of antithrombotics, use of statins, non-smoking/cessation counseling, and use of glucose-lowering medications with cardioprotective effects (sodium-glucose cotransporter [SGLT]-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide [GLP]-1 receptor agonists, thiazolidinediones [TZDs]). Hierarchical Poisson regression was used to estimate relative rate of achieving each target across groups, adjusted for age and chronic kidney disease (where relevant). RESULTS Our study included 727,467 T2D outpatients with cardiovascular disease (isolated CeVD [n = 99,777], CeVD plus CAD/PAD [n = 158,361], isolated CAD/PAD [n = 469,329]). Compared with isolated CAD/PAD patients, isolated CeVD patients more often had an HbA1c <8% (adjusted relative risk [aRR] 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-1.11) but less often had a blood pressure of ≤130/80 mm Hg (aRR 0.93; 95% CI, 0.92-0.94) or were prescribed antithrombotics (0.84; 95% CI, 0.83-0.85), statins (0.86; 95% CI, 0.85-0.87), GLP-1 agonists (0.75; 95% CI, 0.73-0.78), SGLT2 inhibitors (0.73; 95% CI, 0.71-0.76), and TZDs (aRR 0.76; 95% CI, 0.73-0.78). CONCLUSION Among T2D patients, those with isolated CeVD had the lowest rates of secondary cardiovascular prevention goals attainment. More focus is needed on secondary prevention in patients with CeVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify the risk of overall and type specific cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases as well as venous thromboembolism in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analyses. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to 1 November 2021 and updated on 26 May 2022. REVIEW METHODS Observational studies reporting the association between gestational diabetes mellitus and incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were eligible. Data, pooled by random effects models, are presented as risk ratios (95% confidence intervals). Certainty of evidence was appraised by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations. RESULTS 15 studies rated as moderate or serious risk of bias were included. Of 513 324 women with gestational diabetes mellitus, 9507 had cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Of more than eight million control women without gestational diabetes, 78 895 had cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Compared with women without gestational diabetes mellitus, women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus showed a 45% increased risk of overall cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (risk ratio 1.45, 95% confidence interval 1.36 to 1.53), 72% for cardiovascular diseases (1.72, 1.40 to 2.11), and 40% for cerebrovascular diseases (1.40, 1.29 to 1.51). Women with gestational diabetes mellitus showed increased risks of incident coronary artery diseases (1.40, 1.18 to 1.65), myocardial infarction (1.74, 1.37 to 2.20), heart failure (1.62, 1.29 to 2.05), angina pectoris (2.27, 1.79 to 2.87), cardiovascular procedures (1.87, 1.34 to 2.62), stroke (1.45, 1.29 to 1.63), and ischaemic stroke (1.49, 1.29 to 1.71). The risk of venous thromboembolism was observed to increase by 28% in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (1.28, 1.13 to 1.46). Subgroup analyses of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease outcomes stratified by study characteristics and adjustments showed significant differences by region (P=0.078), study design (P=0.02), source of data (P=0.005), and study quality (P=0.04), adjustment for smoking (P=0.03), body mass index (P=0.01), and socioeconomic status (P=0.006), and comorbidities (P=0.05). The risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was, however, attenuated but remained significant when restricted to women who did not develop subsequent overt diabetes (all gestational diabetes mellitus: 1.45, 1.33 to 1.59, gestational diabetes mellitus without subsequent diabetes: 1.09, 1.06 to 1.13). Certainty of evidence was judged as low or very low quality. CONCLUSIONS Gestational diabetes mellitus is associated with increased risks of overall and type specific cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that cannot be solely attributed to conventional cardiovascular risk factors or subsequent diabetes.
