Incident stroke in patients with Alzheimer’s disease: systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Vascular mechanisms are increasingly recognized in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but less is known about the occurrence of stroke in AD patients. We aimed to quantify the risk of stroke in patients with AD and compare the incidence rates (IR) of stroke in individuals with...
