2018 MAR 23 (VerticalNews) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Weekly News -- Research
findings on Cerebrovascular Diseases and Conditions - Hemorrhagic Stroke are discussed in a new report.
According to news originating from Chuncheon, South Korea, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated,
"Several studies have reported that chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) increases the risk of stroke. The aim of this study
is to elucidate the putative association between CRS and stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) using large population-
based national health insurance data."
Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Kangwon National University Hospital, "Using the
national cohort study from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, CRS patients (n=22,959)
and control participants (n=91,836) were selected and matched at a rate of 1:4 (age, sex, income, region,
hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia). A Cox-proportional hazard model was used to analyze the hazard ratio
(HR) of CRS for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. We divided the participants according to age and gender
for the subgroup analysis. The HR for hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke was significantly increased in the CRS
patients compared to that in the controls (adjusted HR=2.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]=2.10-2.80 for
hemorrhagic stroke; adjusted HR=1.76, 95% CI=1.61-1.92 for ischemic stroke) after adjusting for age, sex, income,
region of residence, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, migraine, chronic kidney disease,
depression, sleep disorder, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. In the subgroup analysis, the HR of
hemorrhagic stroke was significantly increased in the CRS group regardless of age and gender. The HR of
ischemic stroke was also significantly increased in all subgroups of the CRS group."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "CRS consistently increased the risk of ischemic and
hemorrhagic stroke regardless of age and gender."
