Comparison of physician-adjudicated definite stroke, self-reported stroke, and overt and covert MRI-defined vascular brain injury, for 817 American Indian participants of the Strong Heart Study (2010–2013)

Definite Adjudicated stroke
(Yes) N=33 (No) N=784
Self-reported stroke (Yes) N=68 25 43
(No) N=749 8 741
Sensitivity 75.8%, specificity 94.5%, correct classification 93.8%, AUC 0.85
MRI-defined vascular brain injury (Yes) N=287 24 263
(No) N=530 9 521
Sensitivity 72.7%, specificity 66.5%, correct classification 66.7%, AUC 0.70

MRI-defined vascular brain injury (N=287) includes cerebral infarcts ≥ 3 mm (N=263) and hemorrhage any size (N=45). These categories are not mutually exclusive, with N=21 having both infarcts and hemorrhages.
