Prevalence rates of stroke in these matched cohorts
During this 17-year follow up time, 2.15% (130 over 6,053) women in the pre-eclampsia/eclampsia group, ever had stroke which was higher than that in the non-pre-eclampsia/eclampsia group (1.23%, p< 0.001) (Table 1). The prevalence rates of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in the pre-eclampsia/eclampsia group were also higher than that in the non-pre-eclampsia/eclampsia group (1.88% versus 1.12%, 0.55% versus 0.18%, respectively, both p< 0.001).
