Effect of STROKE-CARD care on potential side effects of intensified secondary prevention.

For this analysis, the pre-specified threshold for statistical significance was P ≤ 0.05. A single patient may have had multiple events and therefore may contribute information to more than one endpoint. Relative risk refers to hazard ratios or risk ratios (dependent on the type of outcome). The analysis of laboratory parameters (ALT, CK, and eGFR) involved only data from the trial centre in Innsbruck. ALT denotes alanine aminotransferase, CI confidence interval, CK creatine kinase, and eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate.
