Conclusion
The prevalence of TTS among admissions for AIS was 0.4%, which is nearly 20 times higher than the TTS rate reported in the general inpatient population. The higher prevalence of TTS was seen in elderly, white and female patients with AIS. The TTS occurrence was associated with higher in-hospital mortality, cardiovascular complications and healthcare resource utilization. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the association and potential long-term impact of TTS in AIS patients.
