<b><i>Backgrounds:</i></b> Previous studies reported inconsistent results regarding associations between apolipoprotein E (<i>APOE</i>) polymorphism and clinical outcomes after ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Thus, the study was designed to make a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the association between <i>APOE</i> polymorphism and clinical outcome after IS, ICH, and SAH. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> To identify studies eligible for this meta-analysis, we searched for articles published before August 2021 in the databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar). We used STATA 12.0 software to compute hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) regarding <i>APOE</i> polymorphism and clinical outcome after IS, ICH, and SAH. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Meta-analysis showed no significant association between <i>APOE</i> polymorphism and functional outcome after IS with fixed effects models (ε4 carrier vs. non-ε4 carrier: HR, 1.00; 95% CI: 0.83–1.21, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 29.4%, <i>p</i> = 0.183; ε2 carrier vs. non-ε2 carrier: HR, 0.92; 95% CI: 0.72–1.16, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 15.6%, <i>p</i> = 0.307). Meta-analysis showed that ICH patients carrying ε4 allele have increased risk of poor outcome in Caucasian population with fixed effects models (ε4 carrier vs. non-ε4 carrier: HR, 1.75; 95% CI: 1.19–2.57, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.0%, <i>p</i> = 0.543). Meta-analysis showed no significant association between <i>APOE</i> polymorphism and functional outcomes after SAH with random effects models (ε4 carrier vs. non-ε4 carrier: HR, 1.51; 95% CI: 0.80–2.84, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 57.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.022). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> In conclusion, the present study demonstrated <i>APOE</i> ε4 carriers show worse functional outcomes after ICH, but not after IS or SAH. More large-scale studies were critical to explore the association between <i>APOE</i> polymorphism and clinical outcome after IS, ICH, and SAH.

Objective: To investigate about frequency of different subtypes of stroke in south of IranMethods: This  is a retrospective, single-center study  conducted at Namazi Hospital, Shiraz, south of Iran. Age, sex, length of hospitalization and  mortality  of  stroke patients were recorded by reviewing hospital medical records.Results: 16 351 patients (53.6% male, 46.4%female) were recruited.  Ischemic stroke (10750 patients, 65.7%), intracerebral hemorrhage(3282 patients,20.1%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage(1057 patients,6.5%)  were the most common subtypes of stroke, respectively. In 1262 patients (7.7%) the stroke subtype could not been specified. Ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage were more common in men but subarachnoid hemorrhage was more common in women. Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred significantly in younger patients. Mortality was significantly higher in intracerebral hemorrhage. Hospital stay was significantly longer in subarachnoid hemorrhage group.Conclusion: the distribution of the different  subtypes of stroke in Iran is similar to Caucasians.
