Although case reports have long identified a temporal association between cocaine use and ischemic stroke, few epidemiological studies have examined the association of cocaine use with ischemic stroke in young adults, by timing, route and frequency of use. A population-based case-control study design with 1,090 cases and 1,154 controls was used to investigate the relationship of cocaine use and young-onset ischemic stroke. Stroke cases were between the ages of 15 and 49. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between cocaine use and ischemic stroke with and without adjustment for potential confounders. Ever use of cocaine was not associated with stroke with 28% of cases and 26% of controls reporting ever use. In contrast, acute cocaine use in the prior 24 hours was strongly associated with increased risk of stroke (age-sex-race adjusted OR = 6.4, 95% CI=2.2 - 18.6). Among acute users, the smoking route had an adjusted odds ratio of 7.9 (95% CI=1.8 – 35.0), while the inhalation route had an adjusted odds ratio of 3.5 (95% CI=0.7 – 16.9). After additional adjustment for current alcohol, smoking use and hypertension, the odds ratio for acute cocaine use by any route was 5.7 (95% CI =1.7, 19.7). Of the 26 patients with cocaine use within 24 hours of their stroke, 14 reported use within 6 hours of their event. Our data are consistent with a causal association between acute cocaine use and risk of early-onset ischemic stroke.
