Abstract

To determine whether there is an association between carotid artery web and ischemic stroke. This was a single-center, age- and sex-matched, case-control study. Cases were consecutive patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke of undetermined etiology (Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment [TOAST] classification). Controls were consecutive patients with cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, or primary intracerebral hemorrhages. Additional inclusion criteria were age <60 years and CT angiography of the neck. Two neuroradiologists diagnosed webs according to previously published criteria. One neuroradiologist also assessed for nonstenotic atherosclerotic plaque (carotid wall thickness ≥3 mm or intramural calcification). We used conditional logistic regression to estimate the odds ratio between carotid web and ischemic stroke and its 95% confidence interval. Fifty-three of 62 cases (85%) were matched by age (within 1 year) and by sex to 102 controls. There was a carotid web in 4 of 53 cases (9.4%) vs 1 of 102 controls (1.0%, odds ratio = 8.0, 95% confidence interval = 1.2-67, p = 0.032). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of nonstenotic carotid atherosclerotic plaque between the case and control groups. There was agreement on diagnosis of web for 163 of 164 patients (99%) and 7 of 8 webs (88%), and the Cohen κ for interobserver agreement was 0.93. There is an association between carotid artery web and ischemic stroke in patients who lack an alternative cause of stroke. Carotid web may be an underappreciated risk factor for stroke.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 29. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 August 2023.
All research outputs
#1,327,773
of 25,339,932 outputs
Outputs from Neurology
#2,317
of 20,982 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#26,491
of 429,022 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neurology
#50
of 263 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,339,932 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,982 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 23.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 429,022 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 263 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
