Clinical demographics and long-term prognosis after stroke in patients on chronic haemodialysis. The Okinawa Dialysis Study (OKIDS) Group.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in chronic dialysis patients. However, few epidemiological studies have reported on the demographics and long-term prognosis after stroke. ⋯ Incidence of stroke was high (17.2 per 1000 patient-years) in the dialysis population of our area and the long-term prognosis after stroke was poor.
