Influence of pre-existing heart failure on stroke mortality in hospital
| Death in hospital | ||
| OR (99% CI) | P value | |
| All strokes | 1.74 (1.65 to 1.83) | < 0.001 |
| Acute ischaemic stroke | 2.26 (2.12 to 2.41) | < 0.001 |
| Intracerebral haemorrhage | 1.39 (1.24 to 1.55) | < 0.001 |
| Stroke of undetermined pathology | 1.75 (1.40 to 2.20) | < 0.001 |
Results in bold are statistically significant (p<0.01).
