Abstract
Despite a decline in the rate of stroke and stroke-related mortality after TJA, stroke still seems to be a major cause of in-hospital mortality. The present study outlines some risk factors for stroke after TJA. Recognition of these factors and identification of the at-risk patients may allow for appropriate allocation of resources and ability to minimize this complication after TJA.
