Development of an algorithm for identifying paraneoplastic ischemic stroke in association with lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer.

Compatible with this hypothesis, the median age at ischemic stroke in patients with lung cancer was significantly lower [71 years, interquartile range (IQR) 65–75 years] than in patients without active cancer (77 years, IQR 66–83 years, p = 0.0036), as in patients with colorectal cancer (67 years, IQR 63–80 years, p = 0.2923) for whom the difference did not reach statistical significance, potentially due to smaller cohort size.
