Table 3: Association of CHIP with subtypes of stroke within the WHI.

The Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) defined subtypes of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, which are used in standard practice. Here, additional analysis was done within the WHI cohort to investigate the relationship between CHIP and stroke subtypes. CHIP was not associated with increased risk of LAS or CES. CHIP was, however, significantly associated with an increased hazard ratio for SVS Ischemic Stroke (P=0.001) and SAH Hemorrhagic Stroke (P=0.004), as well as a relationship with ICH Hemorrhagic Stroke approaching significance (P=0.06). (CHIP, Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential; WHI, Women’s Health Initiative; TOAST, Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment; LAS, Large Artery Stroke; CES, Cardioembolic Stroke; SVS, Small Vessel Stroke; SAH, Subarachnoid Hemorrhage; ICH, intracerebral hemorrhage; SE, standard error).
