Abstract

Aims: To evaluate whether visual field impairment (VFI) can predict stroke recurrence in patients with vertebral-basilar (VB) stroke. Methods: A total of 326 patients were eligible for a VFI evaluation within 1 week of stroke onset. One-year follow-up data were obtained after VB stroke and other vascular events. All predictors were determined using Cox regression models. Results: The overall incidence of recurrent VB stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) was 29% (n = 92). After multivariate adjustment, severe and moderate VFI were predictors of recurrent VB stroke and TIA. Conclusions: VFI is an independent predictor of recurrent VB stroke and TIA.
