About this trial
This prospective cohort study aims to compare the proportion of cardiac or cerebrovascular events after a first stroke, a first transient ischemic attack (TIA) or recurrent TIA, between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and non-SDB (control) patients, one year after SDB diagnosis, performed 3 months after stroke onset.
The primary outcome is a composite endpoint composed of cardiac or cerebrovascular events regrouping: death from any cardiac or cerebrovascular cause, non-fatal stroke, and non-fatal acute coronary disease.
1620 patients, in the acute phase of a first stroke, TIA or recurrent TIA will be included in the cohort.
Clinical, neuroimaging, sensorimotor, cognitive and biological parameters will be collected at inclusion. Three months after stroke or TIA onset, polysomnography will be performed for SDB diagnosis. Patients will be considered as having SDB for an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) \> 15 events/hour, or to the control group otherwise. The same clinical, imaging, cognitive and biological assessments than during the first visit will be performed; incident (new) cardiovascular events will be collected. Three months later, and at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years after SDB diagnosis, the same clinical, cognitive, sensorimotor, and sleep-related evaluations will be performed. In addition to the aforementioned parameters, incident cardiovascular outcomes will be collected, at the same time points. The primary study outcome will be retrieved one year after stroke onset.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Prevalence of Major Adverse Cardiac or Cerebrovascular Events (MACCEs)
Composite endpoint composed of cardiac or cerebrovascular events regrouping: death from cardiac of cerebrovascular cause, non fatal stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic), and non-fatal acute coronary disease
Secondary outcomes
Prevalence of Major Adverse Cardiac or Cerebrovascular Events (MACCEs)
Composite endpoint composed of cardiac or cerebrovascular events regrouping: death from cardiac of cerebrovascular cause, non fatal stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic), and non-fatal acute coronary disease
Prevalence of secondary cardiac or cerebrovascular events
Composite endpoint composed of cardiac or cerebrovascular events regrouping: transient ischemic attack (TIA), any acute coronary disease, hospitalization for any cardio-vascular cause and peripheral artery disease
Change in BMI from inclusion to 5 years
Change in body mass index (BMI), defined as weight (Kg)/height (m)². This will be calculated at inclusion and at each visit
Change in waist, neck, and abdominal circumferences, from inclusion visit to 5 years
Change in waist, neck and abdominal circumferences in cm. This will be measured at inclusion and at each visit.
