Prevelance of Triggers and Risk Factors in Cervical Artery Dissection

Abstract Body: Introduction
Cervical artery dissection (CAD) accounts for nearly 2% of all ischemic strokes but up to 25% of ischemic strokes in young adults. Dissection is likely precipitated by the interplay between risk factors (migraine, low body mass index), environmental triggers (cervical trauma or infection), and genetic connective tissue abnormalities (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos or Marfan’s disease). In this study, we delineate the prevalence of triggers and risk factors in a multicenter cohort of cervical artery dissection.
Methods
This is a post-hoc analysis of the Antithrombotic for Stroke Prevention in Cervical Artery Dissection Study (STOP-CAD). We recorded information using the admission data on risk factors (migraine), triggers (upper respiratory infection, COVID-19, and minor cervical injury), and whether the patient had a known connective tissue disorder (CTD). We determined the prevalence of risk factors, triggers, and presence of CTD in patients with cervical artery dissection as well as the interplay between these factors in the pathogenesis of CAD.
Results
We identified 4023 patients with CAD, the mean age was 47 years and 45% were women. A history of migraines was present in 16.6% (668) patients. At least one environmental trigger was present in 26.3% of patients (1061 patients), with minor cervical injury being the most common (22.2%, 892 patients), then upper respiratory infections (6.2%, 251 patients), and COVID-19 (1.2%, 49 patients). Among cervical injury, the most common was chiropractic manipulation (5.7%, 228 patients). Only 2% (83 patients) were known to have a CTD with Fibromuscular Dysplasia being the most common (0.6%, 23 patients). Among the entire STOP-CAD cohort, only 5 patients (0.1%) had evidence of at least one trigger, risk factor, or a known connection tissue disease. On the other hand, 61% of patients (2441 patients) had none of the three recorded.
Conclusion
In patients with CAD, the absence of any risk factor, trigger, or known CTD is common and should not lead to dismissing a dissection diagnosis in patients with symptoms concerning for CAD.
