Stratification of the secondary endpoint to associate plasma BLVRB levels with recurrent ischemic stroke, TIA, or AFX separately showed that plasma BLVRB levels were significantly predictive of recurrent ischemic stroke (as mentioned above, p = 0.016) but not recurrent TIA (p = 0.213) or recurrent AFX (p = 0.225). Here, BLVRB is linked to ischemic stroke.
