Core Tip
Core tip: The identification of risk factors for recurrence in patients with minor ischemic stroke (MIS) is a critical medical need. Based on retrospective collection, a single-center study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2014 to December 2019. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors associated with MIS recurrence. The developed nomogram may provide individualized prediction of recurrence of MIS inpatients.
