CDC, FDA Flag Early Signal of Stroke Risk With Bivalent COVID Vaccine
An early signal of stroke risk was detected in older adults who received Pfizer-BioNTech’s bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, the FDA and CDC announced in a joint statement late on Friday, yet the agencies found no link in further analyses and are not recommending a change in COVID-19 vaccination practice. According to the agencies, incidence of ischemic […]
Stroke Data Hint at High Practice Variability Between EMS Agencies
Individual EMS agencies have varied substantially in their stroke case documentation, raising the question of whether problems might also extend to their operations and implementation of stroke protocols, according to preliminary work from Michigan. Based on 147 EMS agencies working in the state, their compliance with documenting time since last known well (LKW) for stroke […]
Study identifies alcohol risk factors for acute stroke: INTERSTROKE study is one of the largest international studies of risk factors for stroke
A global study, co-led by University of Galway, into causes of stroke has found that high and moderate alcohol consumption was associated with increased odds of stroke. The study also found that there was no link between low level drinking and stroke. The INTERSTROKE research looked at the alcohol consumption of almost 26,000 people worldwide, […]

Blood Type Tied to Early-Onset Stroke Risk
Two variants in ABO, a known stroke locus, were linked with early-onset ischemic stroke risk, a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) showed. The variants tagged blood type subgroups O1 and A1, and effect sizes were significantly larger in early-onset (under age 60) than late-onset stroke, reported Braxton Mitchell, PhD, MPH, of University of Maryland […]
Opinion | Pharmacists Can Now Prescribe Paxlovid, but Why Not Other Drugs?
In early July — through 11 pages, a pen stroke, and a stamped envelope en route to Murray Hill in New York City — an FDA lifer changed the landscape of American healthcare. But the letter, written by the agency’s acting chief scientist, Jacqueline O’Shaughnessy, PhD, didn’t actually contain any new science. There were no […]
Liver Cirrhosis Tied to Elevated Risk for Stroke
Liver cirrhosis was linked to a greater risk for stroke in a large retrospective study, and the association was independent of established cardiovascular risk factors, a research reported. In the study of nearly 1.3 million individuals in Germany, multivariable analysis showed a 21% higher risk for any cardiovascular event — stroke or myocardial infarction (MI) […]
Reproductive History Linked to Later Stroke Risk
A history of infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or stillbirth may be a risk factor for stroke later in life, according to an analysis of eight prospective cohort studies. Among over 600,000 women, infertility was associated with an increased risk of non-fatal stroke (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.08-1.20), while a history of at least three miscarriages was […]
