Overview

This study aims to conduct a prospective cohort study on patients with imaging-confirmed ischemic stroke based on the 4S database. The primary objectives are to investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics, risk factors, and pathophysiological mechanisms of young-onset stroke, as well as to analyze the evolving trends in the etiology of young-onset stroke in the Shanghai region over recent years. This includes examining the roles of traditional risk factors (such as hypertension and diabetes) and emerging factors (such as air pollution and lifestyle changes), and exploring the associations between these factors and patient outcomes. Additionally, the study will analyze the association between reperfusion therapies such as intravenous thrombolysis, acute-phase management, and secondary prevention with clinical outcomes. Finally, it will delve into the screening, treatment, and challenges associated with genetic young stroke patients with Farby syndrome, providing comprehensive information for regional stroke prevention and control strategies targeting young stroke patients.
