To investigate the association between stroke and incident dementia in the presence of a competing risk of death.
This study used the National Health Insurance Service-Senior (NHIS-Senior) claim database from 2002 to 2013 (n = 22,792). Stroke (I69.0-I69.9) and dementia (F01-F03, G30, G31.1) patients were defined by the International Classification of Disease 10th revision. The association of stroke with dementia or death was assessed with Cox proportional hazards model and competing-risk model.
During the 10-year follow-up period, there were 1,307 dementia events (5.7%) and 9,272 deaths (40.7%). In the Cox model, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for dementia was 2.37 times higher in those who experienced strokes, compared with the non-stroke group (95% CI: 2.23, 2.51). In the presence of death as competing event, stroke was associated with an elevated dementia incidence (HR = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.92, 2.20).
Stroke was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident dementia, with the magnitude of the association being attenuated in the competing risk model.
探讨在存在死亡竞争风险的情况下,卒中与新发痴呆之间的关联。
本研究使用了 2002 年至 2013 年的国家健康保险服务-老年人(NHIS-老年人)理赔数据库(n=22792)。卒中(I69.0-I69.9)和痴呆(F01-F03、G30、G31.1)患者的定义采用国际疾病分类第 10 版。采用 Cox 比例风险模型和竞争风险模型评估卒中与痴呆或死亡的关联。
在 10 年的随访期间,共发生了 1307 例痴呆事件(5.7%)和 9272 例死亡事件(40.7%)。在 Cox 模型中,与非卒中组相比,经历过卒中的患者发生痴呆的调整后危险比(HR)为 2.37 倍(95%CI:2.23,2.51)。在考虑死亡作为竞争事件的情况下,卒中与痴呆发病率的升高相关(HR=2.06,95%CI:1.92,2.20)。
卒中与新发痴呆的风险增加显著相关,而在竞争风险模型中,这种关联的程度减弱。
