Objective: We aimed to delineate the conversion rate and risk factors for adult patients with ocular onset to GMG. Methods: Adult myasthenia gravis (MG) patients with ocular onset (age...

... with logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 473 eligible patients were included, of which 132 had been diagnosed with WUS (27.9%). Forty WUS patients had poor functional outcomes and 92 WUS patients had good functional outcomes. WUS and non-WUS patients were similar in regard to stroke risk factors...

...), fungal infection (2.89 vs. 0.83%, p = 0.038) in patients with stroke was significantly higher than those without stroke. Mitral valve vegetation (OR 1.648; 95% CI 1.113–2.442) and age (OR 1.019; 95% CI 1.007–1.032) were independent risk factors for stroke in IE patients. Stroke increased the risk...

... younger than in WCH. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was the main stroke subtype in PHOTAR (74.1%). The prevalence of hypertension and heavy alcohol consumption prior to stroke were the most important vascular risk factors. Treatments for stroke in PHOTAR lacked standardization and in-hospital mortality...
