Ischemic stroke prediction of PP depended on MAP. Among patients aged ≥65 years, presence of ischemic stroke was only predicted by MAP.Ĭonclusion- PP and MAP were both associated with ischemic stroke. In patients aged <65 years, on a continuous scale using receive operating characteristics curve, ischemic stroke was predicted by PP ( P=0.001) and MAP ( P<0.001). Ischemic stroke prediction of PP was annihilated when PP and MAP were entered in a single model. Adjusted ORs for ischemic stroke were 1.306 for MAP and 1.118 for PP with an increment of 1 SD, respectively. Results- After multivariable adjustment for age, gender, and other confounders, individuals with the highest quartile of PP and MAP had ORs for ischemic stroke of 1.479 (95% CI: 1.027 to 2.130) and 2.000 (95% CI: 1.373 to 2.914) with the lowest quartile as the reference. Methods- A total of 6104 uncontrolled hypertensive subjects aged ≥35 years were screened with a stratified cluster multistage sampling scheme in Fuxin county of Liaoning province of China, of which 317 had ischemic stroke.


The present study examined the relation among PP, MAP, and ischemic stroke in uncontrolled hypertensive subjects in China.
