Abstract

Our meta-analysis indicates a significantly increased stroke risk in patients with CHD. Subgroup analyses showed higher stroke risk in European regions compared to Asia and USA, and among adults compared to pediatric populations. Future studies should focus on addressing regional and data limitations to better inform clinical strategies for managing stroke risk in CHD patients.
